New Balance Dubs NBA Draft 'Flagg Day' in Social Media Video Featuring Maine Native
- Cooper Flagg, an 18-year-old Duke alum from Newport, Maine, is expected to be the first overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on June 25.
- Flagg's rise stems from his 2022 state championship at Nokomis High, reclassification to the 2024 class, and an acclaimed freshman season at Duke including multiple national awards.
- He set a new Atlantic Coast Conference freshman scoring record by scoring 42 points against Notre Dame, guided Duke to a 35-4 season, and became the first player since 1986 to lead his team in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals during a Final Four matchup.
- At last month's NBA combine, Flagg measured 6-foot-9 with a 7-foot wingspan, 8 feet 10.5 inches standing reach, and a 35.5-inch vertical leap, while New Balance promoted 'Flagg Day' and announced an apparel collection.
- Flagg's private visit to Dallas, the Mavericks' first pick holder who will likely draft him, and his expected draft attendance underscore his status as a surefire top pick and New Balance endorsement partner.
