Former teammates at Duke, Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel starred in an NBA matchup that Blue Devils' fans won't forget.
Currently battling in a race for the Rookie of the Year award in the NBA, Duke alums Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel are showcasing their talent at the highest level. Although the two have been pitted against one another all season, the former college roommates remain good friends. In a recent interview with ESPN, Flagg spoke about his matchup earlier in the season against Knueppel, an incredible game.
"That was probably one of, if not the most fun game of the season for me," Flagg said. "He had an incredible game. We were going back and forth.
It came down to the wire. Obviously would have loved to win it, but it was still a really fun game. ” In the matchup between the recent No.
1 and No. 4 overall selections, Flagg posted a career-high 49 points on 20-for-29 shooting to go along with 10 rebounds, three assists and one block. But Knueppel wasn't going to be outdone by his former teammate.
