Entering his freshman year at Duke, Cooper Flagg has been billed as the next big thing in college basketball, but he already proved that he has a bright future in the NBA with an impressive showing with the USA select team that practiced with Team USA this week in preparation for the Paris Olympics.
While sharing the floor with future Hall of Famers like LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, the 17-year-old Flagg was undaunted as he showcased his skills.
"I was just trying to learn. I was on the court just trying to take bits and pieces from the other players and see what they did, how they did it, how they executed certain things and coverages," Flagg told B/R in an exclusive interview.
