Let's take a deep dive in Cooper Flagg's NIL portfolio.
Duke Blue Devils’ star, Cooper Flagg has been sensational on and off the field. The freshman has led Duke to a regular season title, a number-one seed at the March Madness and won the ACC Player of the Year. With such accolades surrounding Flagg, major brands wished to bring Flagg on board.
Flagg is currently the hot pick for the 2025 NBA Draft and the Mavericks are going to pick him as the first pick in the draft. Both parties have met and discussed about the next season. However, the ACC Player of the Year made smart decisions and navigated through the herd and partnered with some of the biggest brands in NIL.
