Duke center Khaman Maluach has officially declared for the 2025 NBA Draft, adding another layer of intrigue to an already loaded class. The 7-foot-2 freshman announced his decision late on April 26, meeting the early entrant deadline just in time.

Duke big man Khaman Maluach is jumping to the NBA, where he is a potential top-10 pick after helping the Blue Devils reach the Final Four.

Khaman Maluach, a 7-2 center from South Sudan who is still 18 years old, has been projected as a lottery pick. His agent confirmed late Saturday the Duke freshman will enter the NBA Draft.
