Duke star Cooper Flagg’s GPA has come to light amid his team’s March Madness run.
The freshman has been everything the Blue Devils have needed this season. And, should the campaign culminate in a National Title win, he will be remembered as one of the best players to ever put on the team’s uniform.
Flagg, who has averaged 18.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game this term, was named winner of the Wooden Award this weekend, beating the likes of Auburn’s Johni Broome, Alabama’s Mark Sears, Purdue’s Braden Smith, and Florida’s Walter Clayton Jr. to the accolade.
This makes him the only men’s freshman to win said award apart from Kevin Durant and Zion Williamson, with the forward also having won the ACC Player of the Year and the USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year.
Cooper Flagg Is Also An Excellent Student
A genuine stud on the court, Cooper Flagg is quite formidable in the classroom. The player boasted a 4.10 GPA at Montverde Academy, and earlier this year, his school’s official X account revealed he had a 4.0 fall GPA.“What if Cooper Flagg is: the best defensive player in college basketball and leads the team in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals and blocks and got a 4.0 fall GPA and turned 18 last month,” Duke tweeted in January.
Flagg and the Blue Devils will face Houston in tonight’s Final Four matchup. A win would leave them just one step away from ending the 2024/25 season in the best way possible.
