Duke's Cooper Flagg described as 'generational' player after performance in win over Wake Forest

On defense, Duke switched from man-to-man to zone to slow the Demon Deacons down with about eight minutes left in the game. Flagg admitted he never played zone before then. He finished with two blocks in the game.

Flagg's legend is only growing ahead of his likely jump to the NBA. It's a performance like the one against Wake Forest that only solidified him as a potential generational talent at the next level. It even left an indelible impression on Wake Forest coach Steve Forbes.

Flagg and the Blue Devils are set for a game on Monday night against N.C. State.
