In recent years, the young player who has had the most impact upon entering the NBA has been Victor Wembanyama. However, as patriotic as they are in the United States, the Frenchman has not provided that spark of excitement that comes with having a player from your own country dominating the league.
That role seems to be reserved for Cooper Flagg. The 18-year-old player from Duke, born in Maine, Newport, is excelling in college basketball. He is one of the clearest potential number ones for the Draft in history, barring any setbacks.

Cooper Flagg made 11 of 14 field goals, including 4 of 6 from three-point range. The presumed top pick for the 2025 NBA Draft also went 16 for 17 from the free-throw line, grabbed six rebounds, and dished out seven assists.
