Cooper Flagg to the NBA is all but a done deal. A player of his stature, especially as the star player of the Duke Blue Devils, will get attention from teams projected to be in the draft lottery.Former NBA players Matt Barnes and Keyon Dooling talked about Flagg's draft prospects on the All The Smoke podcast.

If you choose to stay in college and get that experience, if that's your end game, and if that's something you're enjoying right now, do it. But I think our game means Cooper, you know, we talked about this a couple episodes ago, Matt, like we need an American-born white player. In my opinion, you know, I'm saying to come in and represent," Dooling said.
