Duke basketball shares a first look at top prospect Cooper Flagg from first practice

The Blue Devils got their first look at the No. 1 prospect in the country, Cooper Flagg, at his first practice in a Duke uniform.

For the first time, Duke basketball fans finally got a good look at [autotag]Cooper Flagg[/autotag] in motion.

The Blue Devils shared a first-look video for every member of the 2024-25 men’s basketball team from the team’s first practice, and Flagg was by far the most anticipated subject.

With ESPN’s Class of 2024 rankings finalized last week, the Montverde Academy product clinched the top spot in his grade in each of the three major recruiting rankings. He’s the presumed No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft, and one expert already tabbed him as the favorite for ACC Rookie of the Year.

The 6-foot-9 forward and the 2024 Gatorade Boys National Player of the Year led his high school team to an undefeated season and a national championship last season, but his anticipation extends beyond his talent. Duke head coach Jon Scheyer already praised his work ethic and effort ahead of his arrival in Durham.

The video shows Flagg working through some shooting and dribbling drills, but the highlights come from his two-handed dunks and jams.

Flagg is 247Sports’ top-ranked Duke basketball product in school history, and by the time October rolls around, he’ll be one of the most anticipated Blue Devils of all time.
