Duke wins its 11th straight game following a 42-point performance by Cooper Flagg. You know I had to tune in for Duke vs. Miami to see how Flagg would follow up, and let me sum it up in one word: Control.

Cooper Flagg dominated this game from start to finish. He can do it all, and personally, I didn’t see a single flaw in his game. From the opening tip, he showcased his defensive IQ with a timely help-side steal. Both his defensive and offensive awareness were on full display throughout the night. If you look at the box score, you’ll see a solid stat line—13 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists—but those numbers don’t do his performance justice.

Yes, he had 6 turnovers, but it felt like he made the right decision on nearly every possession. He was extremely unselfish, finding the hot hand of Knueppel, who couldn’t miss from beyond the arc. Flagg also took some great shots that just wouldn’t fall, with several in-and-out bounces. I also loved how he took on the challenge of guarding Kidd, Miami’s only real bright spot.

Flagg is the undisputed No. 1 overall pick in this upcoming draft.

There were some debates about whether it’s Flagg or Bailey, but it’s not even a question—it’s Flagg. With his skill set, I see him blossoming into a star at the NBA level. If I had one critique, it would be for Flagg to tighten up his handle a bit. I’m really excited to see how players like him, Harper, and the rest of this draft class transition to the NBA.
