Cooper Flagg is more than likely going to be a member of the Dallas Mavericks next month. That's a statement, around this time last year, I would've thought was impossible and just minutes before the NBA Draft Lottery,

Flagg and the Blue Devils, under the guidance of head coach Jon Scheyer, helped Duke post a 35-4 record, the program's sixth time reaching that win total in school history. The Blue Devils were led by arguably the best freshman core the program has ever seen, courting three projected lottery picks: Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel, and Khaman Maluach.

Some NBA executives are reportedly skeptical that likely 2025 No. 1 overall draft pick Cooper Flagg will develop into a superstar at the NBA level.

The town of Newport, Maine, has a population of about 3,200 people. There’s a bowling alley, a popular local diner that serves breakfast all day, a hunting club and it costs only $6 to license your dog.

One player in particular has been getting a lot of spotlight and has risen draft stock, putting him in the position as the No. 1 prospect for the 2025 NBA Draft – Duke 's Cooper Flagg. On Thursday, a video was released of players who were asked the question about who they think is the most underrated player in the league.

On Monday, the Dallas Mavericks stunned the NBA by winning the draft lottery and therefore the right to take Cooper Flagg, the Duke University freshman phenom, with the No. 1 overall pick in next month's draft.

Cooper Flagg said people told him he'd never play Division I basketball because of where he's from, but he's proven those doubters wrong.

A resurfaced video shows a 13-year-old Flagg running basketball drills while wearing a Mavericks t-shirt. Despite barely being a teenager, Flagg is shown running back and forth across the baseline to defend a corner three-point shot. As he travels back toward the basketball, Flagg is passed the ball, which he dunks repeatedly.
