Leading up to the 2025 NBA Draft, Duke Blue Devils star Cooper Flagg is the most talked about name in the class. After living up to the hype during his freshman season at Duke, Flagg made the decision to leave for the draft and is widely viewed as the likely No. 1 pick no matter who wins the top selection.
Flagg helped lead the Blue Devils to the Final Four during the 2024-25 college basketball season. They suffered a heartbreaking loss in the Final Four to the Houston Cougars, but Flagg left everything he had on the court.
During his lone season with Duke, Flagg played in 37 games. He averaged 19.2 points per game to go along with 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 blocks, and 1.4 steals per game. In addition, he also shot 48.1 percent from the floor and 38.5 percent from the three-point line.
While his play on the court was impressive, what he did off the court turned a lot of heads as well.
Ahead of the draft, Flagg's college GPA is an impressive thing to note about the young forward. He maintained a 4.0 GPA during his time with the Blue Devils.
Being able to do so well in school while also being a national star in sports is difficult to do. Flagg was able to do both with flying colors.
