Cooper Flagg has been named the 2025-26 NBA Rookie of the Year after edging out Charlotte’s Kon Knueppel in a closely contested vote. The dynamic small forward led all rookies in scoring and matched the highest totals in assists, justifying his fourth-round ADP in fantasy drafts. As he continues to cement his status as a high-impact player, he is expected to be a top-target in the upcoming fantasy drafts.
