Duke forward Cooper Flagg, the presumptive No. 1 pick in this month's NBA draft, has been called a modern version of Basketball Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen, per sources around the league to ESPN's Jeremy Woo.

Cooper Flagg is just a couple of weeks away from hearing his name called. As he prepares to enter the next chapter of his basketball career, Flagg remains one of the most highly anticipated prospects since LeBron James was in high school.

According to Marc Stein, the Mavericks have Cooper Flagg scheduled for a pre-draft visit to Dallas. During his freshman season with the Duke Blue Devils, Cooper Flagg led the program in all five major statistical categories.
