Cooper Flagg, the basketball phenom from Maine, has officially declared for the NBA Draft, marking the end of a legendary college career at Duke.
The “Maine Event” absolutely lived up to the hype. Flagg led the team in points (19.2 per game), rebounds (7.5), assists (4.2), steals (1.4), and blocks (1.4). That is simply unheard of. It’s one thing to lead in a few of the major categories, but in all of them? That’s some serious baller status.
Flagg’s impressive performance on the court was not limited to his statistics. He and his brother, Ace, are the faces of the “In Flagg We Trust” clothing brand, which supports a great cause. For every “In Flagg We Trust” product sold, $5 goes directly to the Ronald McDonald House in Portland, on behalf of the Flagg family.
