Cooper Flagg has officially announced his decision on the 2025 NBA Draft.
The standout Duke Blue Devils freshman is coming off a sensational freshman season in which he was named the National Player of the Year. Flagg, a five-star freshman from Maine, averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game.
Flagg is widely projected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. However, he had yet to officially announce his decision.
Some had speculated that he could return to school and maybe make as much at Duke as he could have made as a rookie in the NBA.
Still, he’s made his decision official.
