Cooper Flagg unfazed by noise as Duke players rave: 'He can do everything'

Can Cooper Flagg live up to the hype? FOX Sports' John Fanta breaks down the buzz surrounding Duke's freshman sensation.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Walking through the Hilton Hotel in uptown Charlotte on Wednesday morning, you couldn't go more than five minutes without hearing his name uttered by a media member, even though he wasn’t in the building. Cooper Flagg. Will he live up to the hype? Is he the best college prospect since Zion Williamson? Could he win the national player of the year award? The 6-foot-9 freshman headlines Duke’s No.

'It doesn’t matter if there are five seconds or 10 seconds left in a game — or five minutes — he’s going to do everything he can in that moment to win. I work with him all the time, and he’s always in the gym.' As for the big picture in Durham, it’s a critical third season for Scheyer, who has gone 27-9 in each of his first two years at the helm with an Elite Eight trip that ended with a heartbreaking loss to 11-seed North Carolina State last March.
