Duke star freshman Cooper Flagg is facing the biggest decision of his life.
The 18-year-old forward accomplished everything a first-year college player possibly could, short of winning a national championship.
Flagg was tabbed as the National College Player of the Year, ACC Player of the Year, ACC Rookie of the Year and NABC Freshman of the Year while also being named to the ACC All-Defensive Team and ACC All-Freshman Team.was also a consensus first-team All-American and first-team All-ACC selection, plus he won the Julius Erving, Lute Olson and Wayman Tisdale awards.
And while few would blame Flagg if he decided to be a one-and-done Blue Devil and jump to the NBA next season (he’s projected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft on June 25), it doesn’t seem like the decision whether or not to leave school is an easy one.
“I’m just going through the process,” Flagg said in a recent interview with Fox Sports. “Really, we haven’t had that much time to talk about it yet. I got the chance to come out here (Los Angeles) and take some time with myself and my family and take some time to reflect on the season I’ve had.
