Flagg is a basketball phenom from the state of Maine. He was born in Newport and attended Nokomis Regional High School for one year, where he became the first freshman to be named the Maine Gatorade Player of the Year. In order to increase his exposure and play against stiffer competition, Flagg has transferred to Monteverde Academy, which is known for producing future NBA stars.
Flagg still has some high school years left, and is just 16 years old. He will have collegiate programs lining up to offer him a scholarship, but the list that is provided on by ESPN’s scouting department includes Duke, UConn, UCLA, and Michigan.
