Cooper Flagg is already viewed as the likely No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and his efforts at USA Basketball camp are only reinforcing that notion.
Flagg put on a show during Monday’s Team USA scrimmage, looking like a standout against established NBA opposition. In one sequence, he hit a three over Anthony Davis, successfully defended Davis at the other end, then beat Bam Adebayo to a tough rebound and putback.

Pretty much everyone had the same reaction to the 17-year-old’s performance: a lot of teams are going to be ready to tank for Flagg in 2024-25.
Cooper Flagg just moved tanking season up by about two months.

Flagg has already committed to Duke for next season and is almost certain to be a one-and-done college player. This video makes it pretty easy to see why.
