Cooper Flagg Discussion Thread

[QUOTE=Real Men Wear Green;14953695]I'm sure Utah will appreciate him.[/QUOTE]

Yeah he's not going to Utah :oldlol:

Can't wait for Cooper to wear a Raptors uniform and play for us.

Not ideal but if he gets drafted to Toronto I will have to start rooting for them

Watched most of the second half. His shooting/finishing left a little to be desired, but a part of that could have been being so amped up for the first game. However, his feet/hands/awareness on defense are absolutely incredible for someone so young. As are his instincts overall on offense.

The mechanics are there I definitely think he can be a nice 37% from 3 point and it was quite clear he was a step above everybody else on the floor

Why wouldn't he? Their record is terrible and it will remain terrible. Ainge put their assets on fire sale for years to accumulate talent and it's going to work. The only thing that could work against him is some bad luck in the lottery. You know who's not going to get him? Any team that is honestly trying to win. I actually respect Brooklyn for fighting for respectability but that .500 glory will mean they don't draft Flagg. Already gave Ainge a lead in those ping pong balls. Looks like he's going to take away your young franchise player again.

Possible. They're in the mix with Utah.

They "let" LeBron James go to Cleveland.

Lebron was a hometown hero.

Is Flagg from Utah?

If the concern is having superstar in big city you don't concern yourself with having the guy from Akron go to Cleveland.

I really liked this mid-post face-up move:

He has good bully-ball potential with what he's working with. This reminded me of the type of moves AD makes now that he's quite strong, 260+ pounds, and plays physically. The young Davis lacked the strength.

Cooper has a long stride. Similar in absolute/relative leg length to Ingram I'd say. They've got similar bodies aside from Cooper being way thicker/wider/more robust. Took two dribbles from half-court before dunking. He really covers a lot of ground per dribble in the open court.

Not surprising, would be like the 5th time you swapped which team you support

Duke plays UK next Tuesday on ESPN. That will be the first time I have watched Cooper in a game.

I am also interested in Duke's center Maluach.
