On Saturday, Cooper Flagg led the Duke Blue Devils to an 86-78 victory over Notre Dame.

Flagg exploded for 42 points, six rebounds, seven assists and one steal while shooting 11/14 from the field and 4/6 from the three-point range in 36 minutes.

After the big game, ESPN's Jonathan Givony spoke highly of the 18-year-old.

Givony: "He has no off-switch. This guy is a total a**-kicker. Everything he does is full speed, 110%. He has a different mentality than most guys and he's going to be a difference-maker from day one on a bad team... It's infectious the way that he practices and the way that he plays... He's a complete player who will be a difference-maker from the NBA in day one."

Flagg is now averaging 19.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks per contest while shooting 47.9% from the field and 34.5% from the three-point range in 16 games.
