You're right he'll be good in the NBA ... at lest eventually. Not sure if he'll be great under the "bright lights" this March yet. Kentucky (and now Kansas) "sent him to school" but let's see how he responds with Auburn. All I can say is to keep Coach K out of the stands. He's a complete jinx!

Finally, Kansas forced Flagg to another late game turnover with 48 seconds left in that game. This is what I meant about handling pressure (a.k.a. "bright lights") in March.

As a coach, can't help but point out four simple mistakes that he made in a row. He has glaring mistakes that he makes, whether that's through lack of focus, or lack of attention. He appears to drift in and out of the games that I've seen him play. Kid is exponentially gifted. I wonder about his coaching and people around him, if he has people along for the ride telling him everything is great, or if he is being held accountable with relation to his sloppy plays, that against Kentucky, cost them the game..
Not even close. You need to remember the type of mentality Bird had. This guy is sweet as a cupcake compared to Bird. Doesn't shoot, act, or talk shit like Bird did. Don't throw random comparisons around lmao.
Everyone on the team fell off a cliff in the second half. He was their best option. I’d rather him try and mess it up than be scared to do it at all 🤷🏾♂️
You have to look at the bigger picture....The two best players on the team, not named Flagg, were sitting on the bench. Flagg played the whole game without a break and carried the team at 17 years old! Maybe he was gassed! I know I would be!
@@gym_bobthe bigger picture is he doesn’t have the handle rn to get the ball and make a play at the end of the game. Until he gets his handle better he’ll be a defensive guy in the League.
@@alod247 Yea, your right but he will get better. He said himself that NBA players are alot more physical so I am sure, in time, if he keeps lifting weights and gets stronger, like Jason Tatum did, he will have a much better handle and be a much better player.
2:14 i am not sure about this foul. The opponent was just standing there and cooper went into him. Is it a foul because the defender's feet were moving?
Flagg is beating himself up right now for turning over the ball and not boxing out at the end. He looked tired from the past minute. No doubt he still had a good game and will get better.
I think the title would sound better if you changed it to. "Cooper Flagg Drops the Ball vs # 19 Kentucky Wildcats - 2 Costly Game ending turnovers & Got out rebounded by Otega Oweh to end the game (who is 5 inches shorter) | Nov 12, 2024
@@ImRanchWilder Jayson Tatum is the biggest choker in NBA finals history. Probability definitely is that Cooper will be far better in the clutch than Tatum. This was one game where the team failed. Cooper included, but likelihood is he will be better next time.
Flagg’s turnover at the end of the game looked more like his left foot slipped on water or sweat that was on the court when he was trying to drive. So, I don’t fault him for that. But not boxing out at the end and getting the ball stolen a few plays earlier was definitely on him.
At 17 he is an amazing talent, age wise he should be playing high school ball. I hope he plays a couple years at Duke before he moves on to the NBA. Even if he played 4 years in collage he would 21.5 at the draft, and 18.5 if he goes in 2025. He has a lot of time, I think he will be looked at as a generational player in a few years if he keeps progressing like he has to this point. Either way it will be fun watching him, and a few others in his class over the next few years, tons of talent!!
Flagg deserves to be on Wizards or Jazz and not the Sixers. Flagg does not need the stress of Philadelphia’s issues. Embiid is getting $69 million in 2029.
I don't see anything in his offensive game that stands out. Swiss army knife with size. If he grows a couple of inches, he might live up to the hype, but I don't know. Am guessing that what has people excited is his defense and rebounding.
@@penkima4923 Yes, but that's just common sense in basketball. Every basketball player knows that when you dribble to a corner you get trapped. I hope he learns from his mistakes.
@@ig6894 No. Common sense in basketball is that the guards take care of the basketball. They failed. The coach didn't call timeout, so he failed as well.
