Cooper Flagg has established himself as one of the clear top-two picks in the 2025 NBA Draft this summer.

At just 18, the Duke superstar is arguably the best college basketball player in the country.

Flagg will likley be on an NBA team within the next four months.

Before this season began, he revealed his All-Time NBA starting lineup.

Flagg (via GQsports in 2024): “All-time basketball starting five, I’m gonna go… Magic at the one, MJ at the two, Kobe at the 3, LeBron at the four and Kareem at the five.”

@jaxgambino1880: “A very reasonable list especially for him being as young as he is”

@obe1theplug716: “Thank you someone finally put MJ and Kobe in the same all time lineup just because they both play the same position doesn’t mean they can’t start together”

@JohnMichaelLabrdor: “Its either magic & kareem for pure skill and ability to win or curry & shaq for just insane unadulterated talent in like evryones all-time team”

@alexsolo4085Curry: “MJ, Kobe, Magic, Lebron. Small ball but scoring everywhere”

Flagg is currently averaging 19.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per contest while shooting 49.1% from the field and 37.5% from the three-point range in 28 games.

Duke is the top team in the ACC with a 25-3 record in their first 28 games.

They will resume action on Saturday night when they host Florida State.

At home, the Blue Devils are a perfect 15-0.

Cooper Flagg is one of the most highly touted basketball prospects in recent years, earning national attention for his incredible skill set, versatility, and high basketball IQ. Standing at 6’9″, Flagg has the rare combination of size, athleticism, and playmaking ability that makes him a dominant force on both ends of the court. His performances at Montverde Academy and on the AAU circuit have solidified him as a future NBA star, with scouts raving about his defensive instincts, scoring ability, and leadership. As the top recruit in the country, he committed to Duke, where he is expected to be a game-changer for the program and a likely one-and-done player before making the leap to the NBA.

His ability to impact the game in multiple ways—whether as a shot-blocker, perimeter defender, or an efficient scorer—sets him apart from other young prospects. With his confidence and drive, many believe Flagg has the potential to be a franchise-altering talent at the next level. As his career progresses at Duke and beyond, all eyes will be on him to see if he can live up to the immense hype and become the next generational superstar in the NBA.
