The Duke Blue Devils ended their regular season on a high note, securing a crucial win over North Carolina in Chapel Hill. This victory not only solidified their No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament but also strengthened their case for a top seed in the NCAA Tournament on Selection Sunday.
While Duke’s postseason aspirations remain the primary focus, a larger conversation looms in the background-Cooper Flagg’s future. The freshman sensation has been nothing short of spectacular, leading Duke in multiple statistical categories and firmly establishing himself as the top prospect in the 2025 NBA Draft.
While some reports have suggested that Flagg might consider coming back for a second season, NBA Draft expert Krysten Peek quickly shut down those rumors.
“Anyone who thinks he’s coming back to college for another year (miracle NIL be it) is completely delusional. Cooper’s had an unbelievable season. He’s ready for the NBA. He’s earned that No. 1 slot. Let’s stop the clickbait please,” Peek wrote.
