The Brooklyn Nets, along with the rest of the teams expected to be rebuilding this NBA season, have kept a keen eye out for Duke freshman Cooper Flagg. The projected No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft has been a force for Duke, averaging 17.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.5 blocks.

Last night, No. 11 Duke faced off against No. 1 Kansas in the Terry’s Chocolate Vegas Showdown. All eyes were on how Flagg and the Blue Devils would fare against Hunter Dickinson and the top-ranked Jayhawks.

Dickinson was ejected in the second half for a flagrant two foul Duke’s Maliq Brown, which opened up the doors for the Blue Devils to win the game. Unfortunately, they lost 75-72.

A big concern for Flagg has been his late-game turnovers. The freshman had two in a row in the final possessions of the State Farm Champions Classic against Kentucky.

Last night, Flagg tried to attempt the same spin move against Kansas that cost Duke the late-game possession against Kentucky. Flagg spun into traffic and lost the handle, giving the Jayhawks the ball back while being up one with less than a minute to play.

This trend aside, Flagg was still efficient, putting up 13 points, five rebounds, and three assists while shooting 5-for-9 from the field and hitting his only three-point attempt.

A big part of Flagg’s offensive game last night was the ability to play off of the pick-and-roll well. The 6-foot-10 forward was able to seal defenders when needed, but could also explode off of the screen to get past the switch on defense.

Flagg is a smooth finisher and demonstrated that with his athleticism last night. He could also knock down a jumper when needed but didn’t really do so against Kansas. Overall, it was a solid night given how many shots Flagg took.

The biggest question is how he can perform in the clutch. This is the third time Flagg has turned the ball over in a one-possession game with under a minute to play. It’s worth noting that he’s only 17, and still has plenty of time to develop, but the late-game IQ has to improve for the hype to continue.

KANSAS CITY, Mo — State troopers from both Kansas and Missouri are asking for your help this holiday season to help children who won’t have the chance to celebrate the holiday season at home.

“Many of our troopers are parents, and seeing these kids in the hospital, this time of year is devastating,” said Corporal Justin Ewing, Missouri State Highway Patrol. “This is our ability as parents, as fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, to bring some joy to these kids, but it is also a great opportunity for us as the law enforcement world to step into the people that we serve and be able to meet some of these needs and to bridge that gap between the communities we serve our own agency.”

From now through December 9th, troopers are collecting new, unused toys for children of all ages for the annual Trooper Michael Newton Toy Drive.

Troopers have been handing out toys to children at KU Medical Center Pediatrics and the Ronald McDonald House for the past 22 years.

The toy drive was started as a way to honor fallen trooper Michael Newton with Missouri State Highway Patrol who died in the line of duty in 2003.

Newton was the 23rd member of the Missouri State Highway Patrol to lose his life in the line of duty and was survived by his wife and two young sons.

“His family knew that he was a great influence in the community, and so this was just a chance to bring joy to the community through some of our most precious citizens, and that’s our children,” said CPL Ewing.

Over the years, troopers estimate thousands of children have benefited from the their toy drive. You can take your new, unwrapped, toy donations to the following locations:
