Cooper Flagg is averaging 19.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.

No freshman in college basketball history has led his team in every major statistical category and played in the NCAA Tournament.

The Duke Blue Devils are 23-3 on the year and have lost just once since Nov. 26, 2024 .

Flagg should join Kevin Durant , Anthony Davis and Zion Williamson as the only freshmen to win National Player of the Year .

The Garden will see a season -high number of scouts on Saturday .

Kasparas Jakucionis , the 6 -foot-6 guard from Lithuania , is averaging 15.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game.

Flagg 's story is something that goes beyond the norm for a top prospect.

"He’s generational," Wake Forest head coach Steve Forbes said earlier this year .
