Cooper Flagg is reclassifying from 2025 into the 2024 high school class, making him eligible for the 2025 NBA draft. A 6-foot-8, 195-pound power forward, Flagg is widely considered one of the best high school
basketball prospects in the world. Flagg was ranked No. 2 on ESPN’s and 247Sports’ class of 2025 prospect lists behind Cameron Boozer, son of former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, who is also seen as a potential franchise player. He is now “the odds-on favorite to be the top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft,” according to NBA Draft Room , which compares Flagg’s playing style to Andrei Kirilenko and Scottie Pippen. Flagg cemented his top prospect status this summer, winning MVP honors in the NBPA Top 100 Camp in Orlando in June and dominating the Nike Peach Jam a month later, averaging 25.4 points, 13 rebounds and 6.9 blocks for Maine United. In 2022, Flagg was named the
USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year after he helped Team USA’s U17 team win a gold medal in the FIBA
World Cup The Maine native is entering his junior year at Montverde Academy in
Florida and has reportedly received 13 college scholarship offers. Duke, who hosted Flagg for an unofficial visit this month, is considered to be the favorite to land him, according to
ESPN . Adam Finkelstein, 247Sports’ director of scouting, described Flagg as an “elite two-way prospect” with “instincts [that] are off the charts on both ends of the floor.”
