He's putting on a good performance ATM.
The AK47 comps look very very real. He could be him right now. The room to grow offensively, particularly with the post and passing game is exciting but at worst you have one of the more overall impactful guys around, if not spectacular.
Interested to see what he does against Kentucky.

Cooper Flagg filled up the boxscore in Duke's blowout win over Army. 13 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals and 2/4 3P in 25 minutes for the projected No. 1 pick.

6ers or the Bucks
Duke vs. Kentucky tonight. Wonder if Flagg will cramp up again?
Some nice moves off the dribble early on.
Coop with the choke.

Karma for all the flexing and mugging he does after every damn play.
I dont mind when guys do that on occasion after a legitimately big moment. But for gods sake it's every damn made basket now that guys are scowling and ice grillin at the camera and beating their chest.
It's like dude, your basket just made the score 27-22. We're in the first quarter. Maybe keep a little bit more of an even keel at this stage of the game, hm?

Agreed. Act like you've been there before!
He otherwise looked good. Quicker off the dribble than I thought he was. Was getting toward the rim in the half-court well. Most impressive to me was his strength, balance, and ability to absorb contact. Went through guys on offense and stonewalled guys in the post and lowering the shoulder driving to the hoop on defense.
He has legitimate upside defending the post against bigger players. That's one aspect where he differs somewhat from Kirilenko. He could be Draymond/Rodman-like in that regard. That gives him another layer of defensive versatility. Small ball 5. Switching onto centers and bigger PFs.
- Post defense on 6'11", 235-pound center Andrew Carr [8:58 to 9:10]
- Absorbs a heavy lowered shoulder on a dribble-drive [8:13 to 8:20]

Looked extremely clutch before those last 2 drives too. I guess that does show a slight weakness: his handle. Needs to shore that up before he looks to be the go-to ISO guy at the end of games. Particularly on the spin move. His footwork is really good but doesn't have the handle to match. Seemed to lose it a couple times spinning.
But yea his strength in the post was very surprising. That combined with his instantaneous switching and awareness leads me to believe that he's going to be an absolutely elite defensive player. Hell..he already is.
God i really hope my Nets start losing games
I'm salivating at the thought of Flagg in a Nets jersey

Make up your mind, bro.
It isn't just Flagg. Granted he seems to be the clear number 1 but it looks like there are several guys in this draft which would have gone number 1 easily in the last draft.
