Two Duke basketball games, two highlight-worthy dunks from star freshman [autotag]Cooper Flagg[/autotag].
After scoring 18 points in his first career game against Maine on Monday night, Flagg helped open up Friday’s game against the Army Black Knights with an alley-oop dunk from junior Tyrese Proctor.
Syracuse transfer Maliq Brown played a quiet role in the big play, as he often seems to. The new Blue Devil harassed Army forward AJ Allenspach in press defense up the court before forcing an errant pass. Sion James, another transfer from Tulane, grabbed the loose ball and flung it forward to Proctor, who quickly lofted it up in the air toward Flagg.
The first-year forward grabbed the ball with both hands and thumped it home through the rim, adding two points to the board in the opening minutes.
During the opening game on Monday, Flagg raced around the Black Bears’ defense and threw down a one-handed breakaway dunk to announce his presence in college basketball.
