Duke basketball's Cooper Flagg is the overwhelming favorite to be the No. 1 pick of the 2025 NBA Draft, and his NBA comparisons are already being made.
Flagg, tabbed as a generational prospect, was ranked the No. 1 player nationally in the 2024 recruiting class, per 247Sports' Composite rankings. He hasn't disappointed in college, either, as he's averaging 19 points with 7.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game this season while playing dominant defense.
Flagg is expected to make immediate contributions in the NBA next season, although the ceiling of top prospects is never a sure thing from year-to-year.
