Flagg and Bailey’s battle for the No. was highlighted by Adam Finkelstein of 247Sports. Despite his No. 1, he noted that the latter” may actually have the highest benefit in the course if everything goes right. ” 2 position.

Finkelstein added,” My belief is that Flagg has the higher ground, both next year as a college freshman and long-term. One of the first favorites to be the top pick in the 2025 NBA draft is a winning and extremely flexible two-way person.

He became the No. 1 on that safer ground. Fans of the Blue Devils ‘ program’s progression after reaching the Elite Eight last year are sure to enjoy the information that they have one general prospect.

In addition to Flagg and Maluach as the headliners, mind coach Jon Scheyer’s group includes 5- star prospects Isaiah Evans and Kon Knueppel, as well as 4- star prospects Patrick Ngongba II and Darren Harris.

Even if some of the participants leave the NBA after just one year, the Blue Devils still have options in the frontcourt and backcourt.

While Duke being at the top of the rankings is n’t exactly shocking, Rutgers is n’t the same type of established powerhouse in men’s basketball.

The Scarlet Knights are No. thanks to Bailey and Harper’s power, they placed fourth in those rankings. With all that talent and Rutgers ‘ participation in the upcoming season, reaching the Big Dance should be at least a minimal goal despite having attended two NCAA people’s games in the previous 33 years.
