On Monday, NBA teams, fans, and draft prospects will watch the unveiling of the draft lottery (7 p.m. ET, ESPN), which will set up the final order of the draft’s first round. The draft will take place on June 25-26 (8 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
This year, 75 players have been invited to the combine. The draft combine and Elite Camp, held at Wintrust Arena, will put players through drills, measurements, athletic testing, medical examinations, team interviews, and 5-on-5 scrimmaging. The combine is an opportunity for players to improve their stocks.
5 Best Shooters at the 2025 Combine
There are different players with different skill sets at the combine. While some come with the total package, some have very specific abilities that make them stand out. Cooper Flagg is by far the most well-rounded and most complete player in this draft class, and as such will be excluded from this list.
We take a look at five of the best shooters invited to this year’s combine.
Koby Brea
Koby Brea is projected to be a second-round pick. The Kentucky sharpshooter averaged 11.6 points per game last season. He shot 43.5% from the three-point range last season and was one of the best shooters in the nation over the last few seasons.
Standing at 6’6″ Brea will be able to get some good looks shooting the ball, and NBA teams would be willing to take a chance on his upside as a shooter.
Tre Johnson
Tre Johnson is projected to be a top-five pick by multiple sources, and one of the abilities that make him standout is his shooting. The Texas longhorn was a Unanimous five-star recruit, and he led Texas in scoring last season, averaging 19.9 points per game.
He was the SEC Rookie of the Year, and he also made the All-SEC team. He shot 43% from the field and 40% from three.
Walter Clayton Jr.
Clayton was named Most Outstanding Player at this year’s NCAA tournament after he led Florida to the national championship. He averaged 18.3 points, 4.2 assists, and 3.7 rebounds during the season. He shot 38.6 percent from beyond the arc and is currently projected to be a first-round pick.
Maxine Raynaud
It is not often that shooting is considered a strength for a big man, but Raynaud is one of those few that belong to this category. He made 34.5% of his 3-pointers as an upperclassman at Stanford, a respectable amount for a 7’1″ center.

Dylan Harper
Dylan Harper is projected to be a top-five pick in this year’s draft. Harper is a legitimate offensive engine, has excellent positional size at 6’6″ with a reported 6’10” wingspan, and is the second-best advantage creator in the class. And while he’s primarily a creator, he averaged 19.4 points per game, shooting 48.4% from field and 33.3 from field.
