In the fast-paced world of college basketball, few players capture the imagination of fans quite like Duke’s Cooper Flagg. From the moment he stepped onto the court at Cameron Indoor Stadium, the young forward has exceeded every lofty expectation set before him.

Efton Reid found a way past the extended arms of Khaman Maluach, only for Flagg to slither along the baseline and knock his shot away. He did the same thing on rebound of a missed Maluach 3-pointer, coming silently from the wing past Wake players in position to grab the ball, then continuing under the rim for a reverse layup.
