Cooper Flagg and Ace Flagg carving separate journeys
Cooper Flagg and Ace Flagg spend significant time together on the court. They led Nokomis High School to the 2022 state Class A title as high school freshmen. They then transferred to the Montverde Academy in Florida, where they won the Chipotle Nationals and carved out their own paths.
As Flagg found national success, he reclassified himself to be eligible for the 2025 NBA draft. Soon, he committed to Duke. On the other hand, Ace Flagg joined the Greensboro Day School in North Carolina, where he will play his final season.
