BREAKING: Cooper Flagg Declares for 2025 NBA Draft
Duke star Cooper Flagg is officially entering the 2025 NBA Draft, the league confirmed this week. The 18-year-old forward had a standout freshman season and is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick.
Flagg averaged over 21 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists per game at Duke, quickly becoming one of the most talked-about prospects in years. His combination of size, skill, and defensive ability has drawn comparisons to stars like Kevin Durant.
Even though he was making millions through college endorsement deals (between $4.8 and $5.9 million), Flagg is choosing to go pro now. The move positions him to earn much more in the NBA — potentially over $100 million if he performs at an elite level.
With the draft lottery coming up on May 12, teams like the Utah Jazz and Brooklyn Nets are hoping for the chance to land him. Whoever gets the top pick is likely to build their franchise around Flagg.
This is a huge moment in basketball. Flagg is seen as a future face of the league, and his decision to go pro just made the 2025 draft a must-watch event.
