Cooper Flagg-- the freshman phenom who only now can vote

Here are the things we already know Cooper Flagg can do.

After his first 11 games as a college player, he can lead Duke in scoring, rebounding, assists and blocked shots.

He can be the first Blue Devil in 40 years – and there were quite a few good ones – to collect 50 or more points, 25 or more rebounds and 10 or more assists in his first three career games, according to ESPN.

He can help anchor one of the elite defenses in the nation. Duke has allowed 47 and 46 points in its past two games. Arizona could only get to 55. Even the incendiary device that is the Auburn offense, which has hit 90 six times this season, was held to a reasonable 78.

He can produce a game of 22 points and 11 rebounds against Auburn, follow that with a 20-12 at Louisville and not have a single turnover in 66 minutes. Also, 26 points against Kentucky and 24 against Arizona. Big-name opponents don’t seem to faze him much.

Brian Scalabrine was working him out in Boston when he was 12 or 13. Just don't let the Sixers get him, and he'll be fine.
