Duke Blue Devils forward Cooper Flagg has confirmed he will declare for the NBA Draft.

Flagg, long regarded as the presumptive No. 1 overall pick, announced it on Monday.

During his freshman season, the 18-year-old averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists for the Blue Devils, leading them to a Final Four appearance.


Flagg said on his Instagram page in a video: “It was an incredible year, probably the best year of my life. I have so much gratitude. I feel so blessed for all the opportunities that I was given.

“Duke has always been a dream for me, but I’m excited to announce that I’ll be entering my name into the 2025 NBA Draft. Today’s just the beginning, but I have the brotherhood with me for life.”

Flagg concluded his high school career in 2024 as the consensus top recruit of his class.

That same summer, the teenager was also invited to join the USA Select Team, training against the men’s national basketball team in preparation for the Paris Olympics.
