Cooper Flagg joins an elite group of NBA stars

Cooper Flagg, the projected top pick in the upcoming NBA draft, added another milestone to his already impressive resume. The Duke star won the Oscar Robertson Trophy as the nation’s player of the year, becoming only the fourth freshman to claim the honor.

He now joins an elite group featuring Zion Williamson (2019), Anthony Davis (2012) and Kevin Durant (2007) to do so. Of those three, only Davis capped his season with a national title.

Seth Curry, a Duke standout from 2010 to 2013 and now an NBA star, called Flagg “special” and “nasty.” He praised Flagg’s rare mix of skill and swagger in an interview with TMZ Sports.

Flagg’s numbers this season are nothing short of extraordinary: 18.7 ppg, 7.5 rpg and 4.2 apg, leading Duke in every major category. He’s also been a standout in March Madness, showcasing his all-around game in two tightly contested matchups.
