Rumor: Raptors high on Duke center Khaman Maluach ahead of 2025 NBA draft
Khaman Maluach is a highly touted prospect, and the former Duke center is reportedly drawing interest from several teams ahead of the 2025 NBA draft, including the Toronto Raptors. Maluach was named to the ACC All-Freshman Team, averaging 8.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks on 71.2% shooting from the field in 39 games. He ranked sixth in the country in offensive rebound percentage (16.5) and 2-point percentage (75.4). The 7-footer is reportedly having a strong predraft showing and moving up boards after recently dazzling in his pro day. He has been linked to the Raptors at No. 9 and is high on their radar, according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line on Substack. One thing teams seem to agree on: Duke center Khaman Maluach is largely viewed as the leading center prospect in this class. And Toronto, sources say, is among the clubs that highly value the 7-foot-2 big man who played for South Sudan's national team in the 2024 Summer Olympics. Maluach, born in South Sudan, scored in double figures 17 times, including a season-high 19 points, 10 rebounds and one blocked shot on Jan. 11 in a win over Notre Dame. He ranked third among all freshmen in the conference in double-doubles (5). Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle The 18-year-old dazzled last season with the Blue Devils, protecting the rim thanks to his size and 7-foot, 6 3/4-inch wingspan. He brings great athleticism to the position, enabling him to work in the post as a lob threat or finisher at the rim. Maluach is considered a top-10 pick, though some have him going even higher. He'll likely warrant a look by most teams drafting early on June 25-26, with the Raptors among them.
