Former Blue Devils officially run the world of NBA summer basketball

Everyone knew that Cooper Flagg would be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. However, not everyone knew just how dominant a summer Flagg's draft would kick off for former Duke Blue Devils.

Not only did Duke's entire starting lineup hear their names called during the Draft, but the former Blue Devils went on to command the attention of the nation during the 2025 NBA Summer League.

Former Duke guard Kon Knueppel proved that he was more than worthy of his No. 4 overall pick status, leading the Charlotte Hornets to a championship win at the Las Vegas Summer League, earning himself the Championship Game MVP.
