Question: Which college has produced the most No. 1 overall picks in NBA draft history?
Answer: Duke University claims six No. 1 overall NBA picks, a stat that was updated last night when the Dallas Mavericks chose Duke freshman phenom Cooper Flagg as the 2025 No. 1 pick. Duke has the most No. 1 overall picks of any college in the country throughout the league’s history, which dates back to 1947. The University of Kentucky comes in second place with three No. 1 overall picks, and 16 schools tie for third place with two No. 1 overall picks.
