Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 98.5

Pro Comparison: Scottie Pippen

Summary

A prodigious talent who profiles as one of the five best prospects of the last decade. Flagg entered Duke as the No. 1 high school recruit and led the Blue Devils to a 35-win season that ended in the Final Four on a team he led that rated No. 1 in offensive efficiency and No. 5 in defensive efficiency. There are no obvious holes in his game and his all-around impact on both ends make him situation-proof.

About

Led Duke to 35 wins (T-2nd most in school history) while leading the team in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals and blocks.
Fourth player in college basketball history to win Naismith National Player of the Year as a freshman, joining Kevin Durant (2007), Anthony Davis (2012) and Zion Williamson (2019)

Strengths

Elite defensive skills with preternatural timing and instincts. Has a knack for consistently finding ways to alter and block shots.
Passing vision of a lead guard. Understands defensive schemes and reads defenses at a high level with great anticipation and has skills to execute intricate passes with ease.
Great shooting touch anywhere on the floor. Shot 38.5% from 3-point range and made 84% of his free throws.

Weaknesses

Has room to improve as a post-up defender. Flagg has a tendency to reach in an effort to make plays, which can at times put him out of position.
His post positioning as a defender can be inconsistent. At times he loses feel for where the basket is or doesn’t appropriately leverage his body between defender and the hoop.
