    I think Cooper flagg is the good idol player for children. He's good, smart, generous, and polite.

    Cooper Flagg will not only surpass Zion's hype but fully live up to it. He's the real deal, a generational talent like we've seen since LeBron. He’s more than just hype, he’s going to be the GOAT!

    Best freshman ever in the ACC - perhaps excepting David Thompson, even if Thompson could not play varsity as a freshman back then. Jordan also great but he was much more restricted in Dean Smith's program than Flagg is with Duke. This kid is crazy good - does it all, rebounds, passes, dunks, shoots, steals. And oh by the way: hes making a million bucks -

    Jay Bilas is The Man. I need to check out some Duke games, after the Super Bowl. NBA teams are "tanking" for Cooper Flagg, so he must be something special. Like most NBA rookies -- and even Michael Jordan later in his career -- he'll need to get stronger & put on some muscle. He's not going to just walk into the NBA and "dominate," from day one. Anyone who thinks that's going to happen, I think it's unrealistic. I watched Larry Bird at Indiana State for 3 years & then as a rookie in Boston -- and Flagg's not that...at least not yet.

    Na, I'm gonna be that guy. As a freshman Cooper is by far the best freshman they have ever had. I think people to look to much at just dunking and scoring. Cooper does literally EVERYTHING. He's leading arguably the best team in the nation in all statistical categories. No other freshman has ever done that. This is kid is for real. If I starting a team it will start with Cooper, period.... I loved Zion and I still do but Cooper is just mentally on another level
