Flagg is one of the most NBA-ready prospects scouts have seen in recent years, thanks to his elite defensive upside and ability to score at all three levels.
He was the second youngest player to ever be selected first overall, behind LeBron James. Despite that, it is believed he is already one of the better defensive players in the NBA.
Flagg averaged 2.8 steals/blocks in his one season at Duke.
In addition to that defence is a flourishing offensive game. He shot 48.1% from the field (38.5% from three) while adding 4.2 assists in college.

Best Bet: Flagg to score 25+ points in any game (+120)
Let’s get back to that scoring upside.
- Flagg averaged 19.2 points per game last season with Duke.
- He upped that average to 20.5 points over the final 25 games.
Not only that, but his shooting splits got exceptionally better over that stretch. He shot 51.1% from the field and 45.1% from three on 3.6 attempts per game.
He showed at Duke that he was more than willing to buy into a team approach, so don’t expect Flagg to be a shotchucker in any regard.
But he’s ultra-efficient, and one hot shooting night would be enough to give him a 25-point or better performance.
The No. 3 overall pick, V.J. Edgecomb, just accomplished this feat, scoring 28 points in his Summer League debut. His college career high was 30 points.
Key stat: Flagg’s season high with Duke in 2024-25 was 42 points on an 11-of-14 shooting night (78.6%) vs. Notre Dame.
Pick made at 2:45 p.m. on 07/07/25.
