It might not compare to him looking like the best player on the court against the U.S. Olympic Team, but the [autotag]Cooper Flagg[/autotag] hype machine gained a little steam again on Wednesday.
The Duke men’s basketball team posted some photos from team practice on Wednesday, and one of the later slides in the Instagram post showed Flagg rising for a dunk over two different teammates.
These weren’t nameless teammates, either. Transfer Sion James and Maliq Brown, two upperclassmen and two presumed starters on next year’s squad. The two players both partially came to Durham with promise centered around their defense.
Between the photo and his time at Olympic training camp, it’s clear Flagg can still look like the generational talent he is promised to be against top competition.
The upcoming Duke freshman remains the presumed No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft, and one FOX Sports talk show host actually renamed next year’s NBA season ‘Capture the Flagg’ in honor of how many teams he assumes will tank for the Blue Devils star.
The photo is the ninth slide down below.

Fans also got good looks at Kon Knueppel, Tyrese Proctor, and head coach Jon Scheyer sporting some glasses in the slideshow.
