No. 1 NBA draft prospect Cooper Flagg's twin brother, Ace Flagg, is officially a high school graduate. He shared the moment with his girlfriend, Lizzy Gruber, who posted a photo of the two on her Instagram story on Friday.
The photo showed Flagg in a black suit paired with matching white pants and shirt and a green tie while Lizzy was seen wearing a floral-patterned dress. Ace was also holding what looked like his graduation diploma, and in a fun little detail, the words "About time @flaggace" were written on the part of the document that appeared to be the cover.
Ace Flagg ended his senior year at Greensboro Day School, where he played for the Bengals. He played a key role in leading the team to a first-place finish in the NCISAA Piedmont Basketball League and helped them rack up an impressive 31-5 record for the season.
