JJ Redick says Duke star Cooper Flagg is already 'a Duke legend'

The college basketball world is stunned after Duke University lost in Saturday's Final Four round of the men's NCAA Tournament to the University of Houston. Duke led 67-61 with 1:14 left in the second half, but it gave up the final nine points of the game, and it will have to watch Monday's national championship game on television.

Cooper Flagg, the Blue Devils star who is expected to be the No. 1 pick in this June's NBA draft, had 27 points, seven rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals on Saturday. Even though he didn't come through in crunch time, he has established the fact that he's a unique talent and has lots of potential at the next level.
