Re: Cooper Flagg Discussion Thread
[QUOTE=ralph_i_el;14939451]Hayward early in his career got a ton of reps as a PnR ball-handler for Utah. It was sloppy initially, but it contributed highly to his development as a scorer and playmaker off the dribble. IDK if Flagg will get those reps. Who knows.[/QUOTE]
Will he have an elite screener and roller alongside him like hayward did.
Re: Cooper Flagg Discussion Thread
Cooper is WAY better defensively than Hayward and is way better of a playmaker and off ball scorer already
Cooper is a generational talent who's floor is Andrei Kirerlenko with slightly better offense and has GOAT ceiling
He's the most talented prospect since LeBron in my opinion and the most talented white prospect ever

You're jumping the gun a little bit buddy calling a 17 year old the GOAT. Catching Jokic alone is going to be borderline impossible.
Re: Cooper Flagg Discussion Thread
Not saying he is gonna bust, but this reminds me of a poster who was a huge OJ Mayo fan when he was in high school, had his username named after him and everything.
Mayo was the most hyped up high school player since LeBron, we know how that turned out.

No his ceiling is GOAT if he lives up to his full potential

OJ Mayo was an overhyped prospect who had no substance to back it up
Cooper has already dominated against NBA pros in the US select scrimmages

There are a lot of guys like that. Ben Simmons and Andrew Wiggins were supposed to be slam dunk superstar picks.

Re: Cooper Flagg Discussion Thread
i will wait until i see him in college before making any projections. Looks like he has good size/athleticism/handles but not a lot of rotation on his jumper.

Like I said overhyped by the media
Flagg is different he actually has shown levels of talent we have not seen in a prospect for the past 25 years
Re: Cooper Flagg Discussion Thread
Better pray he doesn't become injury-prone once he starts playing in the league these coming few years.

It’s NB’s slogan
[QUOTE=90sgoat;14939387]No matter what it would be very good for american basketball with a white american superstar. The US has not had a lot of success producing white talent, which we all know shouldn't be like that consider how many great white players there used to be. If the US is to have any hope of winning future Olympics it must use all its talent.[/QUOTE]
The American basketball developmental system is racist and fetishizes certain attributes in players that doesn’t lend itself to white American players really getting the same level of opportunity to develop like overseas products like Jokic and Luka etc. white American players have way more obstacles to overcome

I look at him, and then look at AJ Dybantsa. Dybantsa looks like an 1st option scorer, Flagg sometimes does not. That's all:confusedshrug:
