Get ready to see Cooper Flagg a lot in the fall when the season starts. CAA Basketball announced the signing Cooper Flagg for representation this week. If all the stars align Cooper Flagg should be the #1 pick in 2025 NBA Draft. The 2024 Gatorade Player of the Year and the 2024 Naismith High School Player of the Year, Cooper Flagg is set to have a monster year at Duke which will lead to more NIL opportunities than he can handle.

Creative Artists Agency 's (CAA) Basketball division boasts a clientele that includes NBA stars Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Booker, and Paul George to name a few. CAA also represents college star Hannah Hidalgo and seem to be getting a head start on bonafide college talent before the 2024-2025 season starts. CAA is instrumental in helping players with not only NIL opportunities but also NBA Draft preparation and contract negotiation. If you haven't seen Cooper Flagg at all, please look at these clips below from the Slam High School Classic and his senior year at Montverde:
