He's now at 54.7% TS and 30% 3PT for the season. For freshman comparison: Paolo 55.7% TS and 33.8% 3PT and Tatum 56.6% TS and 34.2% 3PT. We're dealing with incredibly small samples here so the numbers change quick.

Another great game for Cooper. Had a monster steal-and-transition-dunk sequence.
- 19 points, 10 rebounds (1 offensive), 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 3 turnovers
- 7/11 FG, 1/2 3PT, 4/6 FT

Flagg dropped 42 today:
11-14 from the field
4-6 from 3
16-17 from the foul line

Scored every which way too. On and off the ball, from all over the court. Insane performance.
Number one pick completely locked up now I think.

Over his last 6 games he's 12-22 from 3 so yeah I think that locks it up. Shooting foul shots well too.
What a clip with his dunks there!
I'm very high on Coop, I think he'll be a star and I think people underestimate his athletic ability. He is strong and takes very long strides and can jump.
I still think his best comparison is Frank Wagner, less shooting, more defense. He also has some Giannis in his game, the defense and the long strides, simple but effective.
Beast.
Could Cooper win NPOY? Johni Broome just went down with an injury. He might miss a lot of games. There have only been 3 freshmen ever to win NPOY: Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, and Zion Williamson.

I’ve watched most of the best teams at least once and I think it’s pretty clear at this point that Flagg is the best player in college basketball. If he continues to improve and find this groove it’ll only be more obvious. Even if Broome didn’t go down.

I don't know but he is beginning to look like a man among boys, in college mind you, not high school.
In some way, I wish he'd stay one more year in college. He clearly needs to learn more, particularly shooting.
He'll still be ROY probably, but his shooting form looks like it might need some touch, not a lot of arch. Shoots decently quick and high though.

I heard KenPom had Flagg #1 for NPOY even prior to Broome's injury.

Cooper's too good for college basketball to return for a sophomore season. Hell, he's NBA-level right now.

Another great game tonight for Cooper in his return to the North East. Lots of people from Maine came to watch him play. He's strengthening that NPOY case with Broome out injured.
- 28 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers
- 9/14 FG, 1/3 3PT, 9/11 FT

Cooper's bully-ball potential is legit. He's really functionally strong, has superb balance, and absorbs contact exceptionally well. He's one of those guys whose strength exceeds his weight. He's probably only around cruiserweight (205-210 pounds) right now but engages physically like a heavyweight. Draymond/Rodman-like.
Makes sense when you look at his sturdy/thick, wide-bodied frame. He'll get up to 235-240 and be a bully at the wing position in the NBA.
