Duke's Cooper Flagg Talks NBA Draft, Team USA, Expectations and More in B/R Interview

Cooper Flagg is aware of the hype.

He's just not focused on it.

While much of the discussion around the incoming freshman will be about his status as the potential No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 NBA draft, he is just looking to lead the Duke Blue Devils in his first collegiate season.

"It's about just staying grounded and staying where my feet are," Flagg told Bleacher Report. "I'm here with my teammates taking it one day at a time. One practice, one game at a time. So I'm just trying to focus on each individual day and trying to get better.
