Duke basketball fans are never going to believe this, but [autotag]Cooper Flagg[/autotag] dunked in practice again.
The Blue Devils posted another video on Thursday night of Flagg cutting through his teammates in a scrimmage, spinning away from fellow freshman Isaiah Evans before leaping up for a two-handed dunk.
Somehow, that play wasn’t Flagg’s first dunk in Cameron Indoor Stadium. During the team’s first day of on-court practice on Monday, Flagg jumped in front of a pass from Purdue transfer Mason Gillis and raced all the way back across the open court for an easy dunk.
The 6-foot-9 freshman is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s NBA draft, and his athleticism is a major factor in his preseason expectations. According to MaxPreps, he averaged 1.6 steals and 2.7 blocks per game as a high school senior during Montverde Academy’s undefeated season.
Those numbers support the eye test as Flagg looks like a scary combination of size, burst, and ball-handling skills.
