US EditionCooper Flagg, Duke highlight impressive depth of 2025 NBA draft class
- On Thursday night at the Prudential Center, the top-seeded Blue Devils, coached by Jon Scheyer, secured a 100-93 Sweet 16 victory over Arizona, coached by Tommy Lloyd.
- Duke's Cooper Flagg, a 6-foot-9, 205-pound freshman star and top-projected pick in June's NBA draft, was the engine of Duke's offensive machine, leading the team's March charge.
- Flagg finished the game with 30 points, seven assists, six rebounds, and three blocks, sinking three of four free throws in the final 1:33 to help seal the Blue Devils' victory.
- Duke coach Jon Scheyer praised Flagg's performance, stating, "That was one of the best tournament performances I've ever coached or been a part of", while Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd called Duke's offense "a machine."
- With the NBA draft lottery in May, teams like the 76ers, who have a 9% chance of landing the first pick, are hoping to draft Flagg, who is viewed as a potential franchise cornerstone, though some feel his impact may not reach the level of past prospects like Victor Wembanyama and Zion Williamson.
