Incoming Duke forward and potential 2025 No. 1 overall NBA draft pick Cooper Flagg has excelled for the USA Men's Basketball Select Team against the USA Olympic Team at the latter squad's Las Vegas training camp in the run-up to the Summer Games in Paris later this summer.
Understandably, Flagg has that self-confidence to excel, as noted to Ben Golliver of the Washington Post Monday.
He's also received encouragement from NBA superstars and Olympians LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
Flagg also gave his insight on the 2024 squad after competing with them.
