Madness frequently serves as a forum for high-profile NBA talents to showcase themselves on the sport's biggest stage. But this year might be even better than in year's past. Projected No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg — the anchor for a likely No.

The college basketball world witnessed a concerning sequence on Thursday afternoon when Duke Basketball star Cooper Flagg went down with an ankle injury. After rolling his ankle, Flagg needed assistance getting back to the locker room to get evaluated.

Flagg could tear his ACL in the pre-draft process and be projected to miss his entire rookie season, and in all likelihood he would still be the top pick. His upside as a two-way star is too great to not be the top pick, barring a medical condition or long-term injury popping up between now and June.
