A freshman, Flagg is a younger, more productive, history-making star. Meanwhile, Johni Broome has had 5 years to enter the conversation.

With their freshman star in foul trouble, it took everyone and everything else the Blue Devils had to hold off the Tar Heels, 82-69, and clinch the No. 1 seed in the ACC tournament.

While UNC took that lead, they rarely went at Flagg who didn't pick up a single foul the rest of the game. And the Duke star was surprised UNC didn't target him more as he told ESPN. Duke coach Jon Scheyer planned to play regardless if Flagg picked up another foul as Duke needed his energy.
