Flagg is one of the best basketball prospects in the country. At 6-foot-8, the forward from Maine is currently ranked No. 2 on ESPN’s 60 for 2025 behind Cameron Boozer, the son of NBA veteran Carlos Boozer.

With the reclassification to 2024, Flagg is now in contention to be the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

As Flagg posted on his Instagram, “Why wait,” especially if he’s slated to be in contention for the number one pick in the 2025 draft.

Cooper Flagg’s Stock Increased This Summer

Flagg was already considered one of the best young players in the country. However, his performance at Nike’s EYBL Peach Jam this summer saw his stock soar.

Playing with the 16U Maine United, Flagg averaged 25.4 points, 13.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 6.9 blocks in the Peach Jam.

Because of Flagg’s versatility and unique skillset, every major college program in Division I will be after the talented prospect.

Duke is believed to be the favorite to land the Montverde Academy product. However, Kansas, Kansas State, Providence, UCLA, UConn, and Villanova have all expressed interest.

With his reclassification, it’s safe to say more teams will be entering the race to secure Flagg.
