Meet the 2025 NBA Draft Prospects: Cooper Flagg & Montverde Stars!

June 13, 2025
Four Montverde Academy alumni—Cooper Flagg, Derik Queen, Liam McNeeley, and Asa Newell—are projected as top picks in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Cooper Flagg won the Wooden and Naismith Awards at Duke and projects as the likely first overall pick. Before that, he dominated at Montverde Academy under coach Kevin Boyle alongside future pros Derik Queen, Liam McNeeley, and Asa Newell.

Queen stars at Maryland. McNeeley contributes at UConn. Newell developed at Georgia. All four trace their growth to the same Florida prep program—another class of Montverde alumni headed to the league.
