Cooper Flagg

How is he allowed to play in NBA next fall? He’ll only be 18. Don’t you have to be 19?

I have a feeling it has to do with his reclasification but I'm too stupid to know if that's a fact.

Draft age deadline is calendar year not NBA start date.

Cooper Flagg is 17 right now but turns 18 on Dec 21.

He'll be 19 next year in 2025. He'll meet the deadline by 10 days.
