NBA Rumors: Cooper Flagg Being Overtaken as No. 1 is 'a Tall Task for Any Prospect'

Despite some eye-opening performances from potential 2025 NBA draft prospects, Duke star freshman Cooper Flagg reportedly remains entrenched in his status as the presumptive No. 1 overall pick.

While discussing Rutgers freshman guard Dylan Harper's impressive start to the season, ESPN's Jeremy Woo revealed that it won't be easy for anyone to supplant Flagg in next summer's draft.

"While there's a long way to go -- and most around the NBA presently feel it will be a tall task for any prospect to unseat Flagg as the presumptive top pick in June -- there's an easy argument to be made that Harper has been the best freshman in the season's first month," Woo stated.
