Cooper Flagg Should Not Be Able To Do This...
Just when you think you’ve seen it all in basketball, along comes a talent that shatters expectations.
We’re always cautious about buying into the hype around new recruits. And it’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of a young player showing promise.
But this phenom hasn't played a single minute of college basketball, yet he’s already turning heads in almost unbelievable ways.
When Cooper Flagg hit the court against Team USA, he made it clear that he was ready for the big stage. To those in the stands, he seemed like a seasoned veteran. But here's the twist, he’s just 17.
While most young talents look to college as a stepping stone to the NBA, Flagg's performance suggests he’s ready to leap straight to the pros. If high school players were draft-eligible, Flagg would’ve easily been a top pick this year.
Even before he wears Duke's blue this fall, Flagg made a significant mark by going head-to-head with the best on the USA Basketball Select Team.
The Select Team, traditionally a mix of emerging NBA talents and seasoned players, set the stage perfectly for Flagg's abilities to stand out.
