Flagg has been tested during the first weeks of his college career, and the 17-year-old phenom still looks like the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft.

Cooper Flagg and the No. 11 Duke Blue Devils suffered their second loss of the 2024-25 college basketball season as they fell to the No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks 75-72 in the Terry's Chocolate Vegas Showdown on Tuesday night.

On that play, Flagg drove to the basket on big man Hunter Dickinson. Adams arrived to help and swatted Flagg’s shot. He tried to recover the ball but knocked it out of bounds. On the next Duke possession, Adams stopped a three-on-one fast break by swatting Kon Knueppel’s shot at the rim.
