NEW: Should Cooper Flagg threaten to run it back at Duke to avoid becoming a Wizard or Hornet? “Players have until June 15 to withdraw from the draft. The lottery is on May 12…

Cooper Flagg, as a high-profile NBA prospect, is facing an interesting decision. If he were to threaten to return to Duke in order to leverage a better position, there are a few factors to consider:

 

1. Draft Lottery Impact: The NBA lottery on May 12 will determine where teams like the Washington Wizards or Charlotte Hornets will pick in the 2025 draft. These teams might be in a rebuilding phase, and Flagg could be wary of going to a team without a clear path to success. If he doesn’t want to go to a franchise that’s in the middle of a rebuild, he could use the threat of returning to Duke as a negotiating tactic to get teams to ensure they are competitive before selecting him.

 

 

2. The “Risk” of Staying: Returning to Duke could potentially help Flagg refine his game and ensure he’s a more polished prospect for the following year, but it also carries the risk of injury or other setbacks. If he stays and performs exceptionally well, he could be in a much stronger position next year.

 

 

3. The Wizards and Hornets’ Appeal: On the other hand, while these franchises are currently rebuilding, they are also in need of talent, and Flagg could have an opportunity to be a focal point of their offense early in his career. If he believes in his ability to help turn around a franchise, this could be an appealing challenge.

 

 

 

Ultimately, it’s about weighing the risk and reward—staying at Duke could ensure he’s better prepared for the NBA, but joining a team like the Wizards or Hornets might offer him immediate playing time, albeit in less-than-ideal team situations. It depends on how he values his development and career trajectory.
