This move comes as Flagg wraps up a historic freshman season at Duke, where he averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game, leading the Blue Devils to an ACC regular season title and a deep NCAA Tournament run.
Flagg’s 42-point explosion against Notre Dame didn’t just turn heads—it set a new freshman scoring record for both Duke and the ACC, proving he can completely take over a game at the highest level.
CAA signing Flagg is a big deal. This is the same agency that represents NBA stars like Chris Paul and Donovan Mitchell, and now they’ve added a true generational talent to their lineup. Scouts and analysts are already calling Flagg a franchise cornerstone, which says a lot about the kind of impact he’s expected to have.
As one NBA executive put it, “Flagg brings mismatch scoring skills, high-level athleticism and intensity, and a pedigree of winning and success to the table—the kinds of production and intangibles any team would love to build around”.
