Duke freshman Cooper Flagg is one of the most hyped prospects in recent history and he officially announced on Monday that he has declared for the 2025 NBA Draft.

Flagg spent one season at Duke where he became just the fourth freshman in NCAA history to be named The AP National Player of the Year.

After putting up averages of 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.4 blocks, Flagg is all but guaranteed to be selected 1st overall in the upcoming draft. While some fans expected Flagg to return to the Blue Devils for a second season, others expected the announcement and already started making predictions.

Whichever team ends up landing the top pick will automatically improve but for now, we can only speculate on who will win the Flagg sweepstakes.
