@VTDukefan: "There is NO other player in the country as complete of a player as Cooper Flagg. He can pass it at a high level, score anywhere on the floor, defend at a high level. This National Player of the Year race is done & OVER. PERIOD."

Conor O'Neill: "Cooper Flagg had the fast-break alley-oop with tic-tac-toe passing between him, Kon Knueppel and Sion James.

Flagg has assisted on Duke's last 3 buckets -- two Khaman Maluach lobs sandwiching a Tyrese Proctor secondary break 3."

@MAKETHEHILLS: "Cooper Flagg is probably the best playmaker on Duke. Such an all around player. Triple double alert."

ACC Men's Basketball: "Hooper Flagg reporting for duty 🤧"

Plays just like him, but a better defender than Tatum was/is."
