But Duke has other stars that are projected to become a lottery pick, including center Khaman Maluach and guard Kon Knueppel.
During the 2025 ACC Tournament, Knueppel stole the show after Flagg missed nearly every game with an injury. The Wisconsin-native led his team to a conference championship, winning the ACC Tournament MVP in the process.
Knueppel was in attendance for Monday night's lottery in Chicago along with his parents, Kon Sr. and Chari. During the event, his mom took to social media to share some photos of the three Knueppels together at the draft lottery.
"🤯🤯🤯," Chari Knueppel wrote on X.
Despite the likely heartfelt message Chari was trying to send, some NBA fans noticed her appearance at the event, leaving their comments on social media.

"Look at YOU!!!! Ok, look at ALL OF YOU!!! G O R G E O U S !!!" one fan said.
"I love how you can wear heels and still be shorter than your husband and your son. The three of you look amazing," added another.
"Mama Chari y'all truly deserve every second of this. You look so incredible," wrote a third.
"You are looking fabulous @ChariNKnueppel!!" commented a fourth.
"Beautiful Family," posted a fifth.
"Looking great! Best of luck @Kon2Knueppel," added a sixth.

Kon is the oldest of five basketball-playing Knueppel brothers, including Kager, the second oldest, followed by Kinston, Kash, and Kid. Chari was a college basketball player herself, becoming UW-Green Bay's all-time leading scorer. She also won the Horizon League Player of the Year in 1999.

Chris Martin Issues Cheeky Kiss Cam Warning After Viral CEO Moment
A TikTok video captured Coldplay's issuing a cheeky kiss cam warning to concertgoers at the band's latest concert, days after a viral moment involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and a woman during a concert. Speaking to his fans, the singer alerted them that a few of them might be featured on the jumbotron. Seemingly referencing the incident, Martin proceeded to guide the audience on how the kiss cam would work. Chris Martin didn't address viral kiss cam moment in his following show but warned concertgoers playfully On July 19, Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin, playfully warned concertgoers about the kiss cam, which was captured in a TikTok video. The concert, held at Wisconsin's Camp Randall Stadium, saw the singer addressing the crowd about beginning the jumbotron section of the night. Last week, during a viral kiss cam moment at Coldplay's Massachusetts concert, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was captured embracing a woman on the jumbotron. The performance reportedly displayed fans in attendance on the screen when it panned to the duo. As soon as they spotted the camera, Byron ducked out of view while the woman turned back to seemingly hide her face. While Martin didn't directly address the moment in the band's latest concert, his warning was enough for fans to link it back to the viral incident that has garnered worldwide attention. Users have since claimed that Byron is a married man. Both the CEO and the woman involved are yet to officially address the situation. In the TikTok video uploaded by @ Martin informed that the band would be greeting the crowd via the kiss cam. The singer guided those unaware, stating that they would be using the cameras to feature some fans on the screen. He continued, 'So please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now.' Meanwhile, since the viral kiss cam moment, an apology allegedly posted by the Astronomer CEO started making rounds online. The company then clarified it was fake and, more recently, announced that Byron has resigned.

Boston Celtics jersey history No. 27 - Jordan Walsh (2023-25)
The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover. And for today's article, we will continue with the 13th of 13 people to wear the No. 27, Boston forward alum Jordan Walsh. After ending his college career at Arkansas, Walsh was picked up with the 38th overall selection of the 2023 NBA Draft by the Celtics. The DeSoto, Texas native has played his entire career to date with Boston, and remains with the team at the time of writing. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Walsh wore only jersey No. 27 and put up 1.6 points and 1.5 rebounds per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Should the Boston Celtics tank if they can't trade for Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo?
Should the Boston Celtics tank if they can't trade for Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo? The Celtics are in a bit of a reset season after star Boston forward Jayson Tatum went down with an Achilles tendon injury in the 2025 NBA Playoffs. While he seems to be okay with staying in Milwaukee for the present, it is not out of the question that he might want a change of scenery if things go sideways again. But does it make sense to tank if the Greek Freak is not coming to Boston? At least one fan of the team thinks so, and the folks behind the "NESN" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Hold My Banner" show taking a closer look at that aggressive point of view. They also touch on some other pressing questions the Celtics will need to answer by the end of the offseason, so check it out below. This article originally appeared on Celtics Wire: Should the Celtics tank if they can't trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo?
