Player Cooper Flagg

These are fun but nothing will ever top

This is what conference realignment has cost us.

Shouldn’t even be playing in this kind of game. Why risk injury for this?

If a team with Cooper Flagg and a bunch of other high level recruits wouldn’t win a single game in 30 against a SWAC/MEAC slate, why is Duke giving Flagg a scholarship?

What a fucking dumbass. This dude is literally going to be winning games at Duke in one year. Is he going to undergo some magical progression to competent college player in that time?

Always knew he was a dumbass. I can understand if he meant a power conference team, although even those conferences have some dregs like Louisville that is no better than a KP 250+ team.

I think he's basically basing it off the same discussion about how an all star college team would do against NBA teams. But he is not smart enough to take into account that the NBA is a much more exclusive tip of the talent distribution curve via only having 30 teams, compared to 330+ college teams, it also retains the talent of the best players for their entire careers instead of college where only at most they stay 4 and often the best players stay much shorter.

If you did the same thought experiment, can a college all star team beat a team in a league made up of 330 teams all filled with player who either exhausted or forgone their college eligibility in the last 4 years. Yeah, I'm pretty sure a college all star team would beat quite a few of those teams.

Watching Flagg vs Edgecombe.
I like Montverde's center, Derik Queen. I think I've only seen him attempt a shot from 6+ feet once. He's a wide, solid big who fights for rebounds and makes great outlet passes. He's also uncommited, maybe Flagg would like to play with him one more year.

Are there any rules that say Cooper Flagg couldn't give a share of his NIL money to a teammate?

It’s true that he would be, at best, the 5th best PF in the NBA right now.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

38% 3pt and improving rapidly. Hoping he’s 35% off the dribble and 45% catch and shoot by October, weighted average in the low 40s. Freshman Anthony Davis with 40% 3pt shooting and the ball handling for 30% usage would be a solid player. I guess you could think of it as freshman Kevin Durant’s offense with freshman Anthony Davis’s defense.

 

[deepdarkblue]

He made his future teammates look bad today.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Has he ever been wrong about an NBA prospect?

kiss of death.

Has he ever been wrong about an NBA prospect?

Why is he comparing Flagg to 3 7-footers？
I think a better comparison would be a mix between and Scottie Pippen and Grant Hill.

a thing that's warping perception of this video is that I'm pretty sure they're on a high school regulation court here. (84 feet vs 94) you can tell by where the volleyball lines come into the key.

the blocked three, scoop, and three dribbles to cross the whole court just seemed inhuman.

I think a better comparison would be a mix between and Scottie Pippen and Grant Hill.

Or a mix between Tatum and Garnett.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Best compliment he can receive is not being compared to any white Americans, who are objectively the lowest life form. I do see some David Lee and Dan Issel in his game, though.

I’ve been thinking Bird and Rex Chapman.
