India, June 17 -- With the 2025 NBA Draft approaching, everyone is focusing on several potential young guns, and one of the hype-makers in the build-up is Cedric Coward.

Even with limited playing time, Coward made a strong impression on scouts, putting up impressive numbers: 17.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, while shooting 55.7% from the field and 40% from three-point range.
