The Duke Blue Devils treated their basketball fans with some media day content this week, including an early look at star freshman [autotag]Cooper Flagg[/autotag] in his jersey.
The social media team knows that the Cameron Crazies can’t get enough Flagg content, and they posted a short video of the Maine native to X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter) on Friday afternoon.
Flagg, who recently signed a NIL deal with New Balance, sported his No. 2 jersey that he’ll wear this coming season. The freshman elaborated on his choice on The Brotherhood Podcast earlier this summer, dedicating the number to one of his brother’s high school teammates who unfortunately passed away.
One of the preseason favorites to win national player of the year honors, Flagg is the presumed first overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft. He led Montverde Academy to an undefeated season as a senior before participating in the Team USA Olympic training camp as a member of the Select Team.
