The NBA Draft will be happening next week, and as many are predicting, it is quite possible that Duke’s Cooper Flagg will be selected as the No. 1 overall pick for 2025. However, he is not even in the top 10 in the NCAA’s leading scorers. The projected No. 2, Dylan Harper, is also not among the top scorers, nor is projected No. 3 Ace Bailey.
A lot of the NCAA’s leading scorers are not joining the draft this year, with many opting to either return to their teams or enter the transfer portal. Here are the three best offensive prospects for this year’s draft:
The Top 3 Best Prospects for the 2025 NBA Draft Offensively
Eric Dixon (Villanova)
Eric Dixon is not just the leading scorer in the NCAA for 2024-2025, he is now also the all-time leading scorer for Villanova. He is entering the NBA draft and has been seen working out with the Phoenix Suns, where his former Villanova teammate, Collin Gillespie, plays. It is possible that the Suns use their 29th overall pick to draft the NCAA leading scorer.
Last season, Dixon averaged 23.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game on 45.1% field goal percentage. Like many in this list, he is seen as one of the more underrated members of the draft class.
Jacksen Moni (North Dakota State)
This North Dakota State senior was the seventh leading scorer in the NCAA last season and has been known to drop 20-30 points regularly, including a 32-point outburst against ORU on overtime last February. The senior was seen working out with the Detroit Pistons last week.
Jacksen Moni averaged 20.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game during his senior year for North Dakota State, as well as averaging 50.8% field goal shooting. The North Dakota native has been known to be an explosive scorer and considered one of the best shooters in the NCAA with a 40.8% three-point shooting percentage.
Brice Williams (Nevada)
Nevada guard Brice Williams may just be the No. 13 leading scorer in the NCAA, but he has so far impressed many during NBA draft workouts, including the NBA Draft Combine last May. He rained down 24 points during his second game of the combine, and was 4-of-9 from the three-point line.
He was seen talking with the Charlotte Hornets during the Combine and is seeking to impress even more people in the NBA. He averaged 20.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, and is already a proven scorer for the Cornhuskers.
