Flagg's lucrative social media career, which began when he was in high school, has helped to provide a very comfortable home for him and his family, who all relocated to Greensboro, NC, when he began his freshman season at Duke.

After declaring for the 2025 NBA draft earlier this week, Duke star freshman Cooper Flagg is expected to be the league's next big thing. ESPN's Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo released their updated draft big board, and Flagg maintained his position in the No. 1 spot.

The Sixers finished with the fifth-worst record in the NBA so they put themselves in a good position to keep their pick. They do have a 10.5% chance at winning the No. 1 pick which would give them the right to draft Duke phenom Cooper Flagg.
