The United States is waiting for the new “phenomenon”.

Victor Wimpanyama is already a memory. The prospective French prospect in the 2023 NBA draft was selected first in one of the most anticipated moments of recent years. But before starting his professional career, he is already looking forward to the future of professional basketball in the United States and Now the most talked about is the Cooper Flagg name.

Cooper Flagg is indeed the ‘Next Big Thing’

There are not too few prospects to watch carefully in the United States, If the class enters recruitment in 2024 It’s not one to create a lot of “hype”, just move the horizon a little farther. In recent months, the level of interest around Cooper Flagg has been growing: The 17-year-old from Maine has been under the watchful eye for some time but has raised the bar in grip this summer.

The wing at 207 cm was recognized as the best in the 2025 class already at the end of its freshman season at Nokomis Regional High Schoolthen past to The prestigious Monteverde Academy in Florida. And finally this summer’s blast on the NBPA Top 100 in Orlando, Florida.

Endless report: Flagg rolls his eyes

Flagg’s recent performance certainly convinced observers: The Maine boy’s offensive baggage is off the charts, he makes baskets on three levels and has the physique that really allows him to dominate with his peers. At the Peach Jam just a few weeks ago, he closed in on space numbers: He averaged 25.4 points, 13 rebounds, and nearly 7 blocks. Statistics that put him at the center of a debate that is already causing a ruckus among colleges wishing to recruit him.

Flagg is ahead of his time: he has reclassified himself in the 2024 class

Born in late December 2006, Flagg took a long hiatus from class to fit into his college year. I stayed in the year 2025 for a long time and just a few days ago I decided to join the year 2024 as many have been predicting for quite some time. At the end of this season, he will thus be able to choose which college to play for duke (favorite at the moment), Oconon, Kansas and Kentucky But they are in pursuit. If there are no exciting “jumps”, Flagg is already a candidate to be the first choice in 2025 NBA draft.
