I expect Cooper Flagg to be the first overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, but there are several future stars in the 2025 NBA Draft, so even if he isn’t drafted first, I’ll still be watching him just as closely. One of my favorite players under 25 today is Franz Wagner. Flagg could be a better version of Wagner after he develops. What I like best about Wagner and Flagg is that they love basketball. Love for the game is the best foundation for every player. 1/1/2025
