Is Duke freshman Cooper Flagg left handed?

Duke freshman phenom Cooper Flagg electrified the crowd at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Monday when he made his highly anticipated college debut. He did not disappoint, posting 18 points and seven rebounds leading the Blue Devils to a convincing victory over Maine.

Flagg begins his college career as one of the most hyped freshmen, drawing comparisons to star players like Anthony Davis when he joined Kentucky back in 2011. The Maine native is even projected to be the overall #1 draft pick next year.

Is Cooper Flagg left handed?

Duke freshman phenom Cooper Flagg is not left-handed as many have speculated, but rather a right-handed player. He is dominant with both his right hand and foot.

Although Flagg frequently uses his left hand while dribbling and in other situations, he uses his right hand for shooting and scoring.

On Monday, during the last minutes of the first half against Maine, he pulled off a one-handed slam dunk. Flagg moved past defender Quion Burns, jumped up and hammered it home with his strong right hand.

Duke coach Jon Scheyer praised Flagg's performance noting his ability to impact the game in multiple facets.

"I’m proud of him for just impacting the game and playing every possession," Jon said post-game. "He’s giving it everything he had."

"I thought he did — he lead us in assist [and] rebounds. I thought he was close to having 25 [points] tonight, honestly, with some of those finishes a couple open shots. That’s going to fall ... I think the thing that’s exciting for him is just for me, I should say, watching him.

Playing against Maine holds emotional ties for Flagg because his mother, Kelly, once played there, and his twin brother, Ace Flagg, recently committed to the team for next year. Fans will see Cooper in action again on Friday in Durham as Duke takes on Army West Point.
