Duke forward Cooper Flagg, the presumptive No. 1 pick in this month's NBA draft, has been called a modern version of Basketball Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen, per sources around the league to ESPN's Jeremy Woo.

Cooper Flagg is just a couple of weeks away from hearing his name called. As he prepares to enter the next chapter of his basketball career, Flagg remains one of the most highly anticipated prospects since LeBron James was in high school.

The NBA draft is set for Wednesday, June 25, and all signs point to Duke Blue Devils freshman sensation Cooper Flagg being selected No. 1 overall by the Dallas Mavericks—who stunningly won the NBA draft lottery despite having less than a 2% chance at the top pick.
