Cooper Flagg Shocks NBA, Joins LeBron James in Elite 30-Point Club at Just 18—What’s Next for This Phenomenon?
In the 10 games since then, however, Flagg is averaging 19.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.0 turnovers while shooting 51.3% from the field and 23.7% from deep. Those are still pretty small samples, but a teenager trending up like that after his first taste of NBA action ain’t nothing.

The fact that Flagg is even in the NBA at this age is an accomplishment, made possible by reclassifying in high school and entering Duke as a 17-year-old. Developing into an effective starter at this age isn’t something we’ve ever seen outside of James, which is very good company to have when you’re a do-everything player like Flagg.
