NBA Mock Draft: Duke's Cooper Flagg Closing in on Completing Journey to Becoming No. 1 Pick
- Cooper Flagg, a 6-foot-8, 221-pound forward from Duke, is headlining the AP NBA mock draft ahead of the June 25, 2025, first round.

- Flagg’s length, competitive edge, and advanced all-around game for his age suggest he has room to develop and could impact games defensively as he transitions to the NBA.
