Flagg, the presumptive No. 1 pick in next month's NBA Draft, shared his thoughts Wednesday with reporters at the NBA Draft Combine for the first time since the stunning sequence of events, and he recalled the still-fresh night as surreal after growing up watching the event.

Flagg and the Blue Devils, under the guidance of head coach Jon Scheyer, helped Duke post a 35-4 record, the program's sixth time reaching that win total in school history. The Blue Devils were led by arguably the best freshman core the program has ever seen, courting three projected lottery picks: Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel, and Khaman Maluach.
