The story of practice for the U.S. Olympic basketball team on Monday was Flagg, who hasn't even played his first college game yet. The Duke freshman — part of the select team that was invited to work out against the Olympic squad during their training camp and widely believed to be in the mix as the No. 1 pick in next year's draft — looked totally at ease going against some of the NBA's biggest names.
