Duke's Cooper Flagg has put exclamation point on 2025 NBA Draft No. 1 pick status
Briefly

Duke freshman Cooper Flagg, starting his season slow, has rebounded impressively and now appears on track to be the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Flagg has turned on the jets, averaging 23 points, seven rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game in the second half of the season, with excellent shooting percentages.
NBA scouts initially had doubts about Flagg's elite status, but consensus has shifted; if the draft were held now, Flagg would go No. 1.
Flagg's performance in December marked a pivotal turnaround similar to Zion Williamson's emergence, leading to his recognition as arguably the best player in college basketball.
