Flagg is way past the whole "white hope" thing He's proven himself to a great player period. Him and AJ Dybantsa (my other favorite HS player this year) are future stars in the league.
@@roberttaylor6694 Bird was also 23 when he came into the league. So his learning curve was far shorter than what its going to be for Flagg if he only stays one year at Duke.
Naw this guy is not all marketing he is actually real. Tye attitude is top level his athleticism at 6'9 is right there with almost any guy that size in the league. I think this guy is going to be very special. I'm thinking a TOM CHAMBERS type player and do your homework CHAMBERS was a killer
Duke guys almost never end up being superstars. They normal just be okay. Tatum and Irving are the only two I can remember. Even Zion,Barrett,Reddish are just ok.
A played with a kid just like cooper Flagg in high school. It just never translated to college because of his injuries but he played with pure smoothness with both hands able to finish at the basket making all the practice drills look easy
His game reminds me of TMac mixed with Aaron Gordon. His 1 on 1 skills like TMac and explosive like Gordon. Hops like TMac too. He's got serious game obviously for such a young age. I want too see his ability to defend on the perimeter and his ability to run and offense with facilitating skills. All the best players in the world can get 5+ assists a game and find the open man or start the process of ball movement to get an open shot. I'm wondering why he's even going to college?? Maybe he wants to win a title
It's lazy UA-cam writers who see a white kid and immediately make the Bird comparison. I hate it. If I had to say if he'd be as good as Bird in the NBA, right now I'd have to say no. Only a dozen of so basketball players in history have been that good. That being said, Flagg's ceiling is extremely high if his jump shot keeps improving and he tightens his handle just a bit.
He's legit. I've been seeing him dominate all high school competition. Look at the numbers he was putting up at the peach jam tournament. He's been unreal. It's not even close as to who the next best high school player is in his class. I'm not saying he's going to be a super star, but he's gonna be in the NBA in a year and he should at least a solid pro. He was invited to this for a reason.
This is nothing. You talking about practice?!?! No pressure, no real defense. This is nothing. They letting young boy show off. That's it. Must be a sloooow sports day. 😂
Ive known about Cooper Flagg for 2 or so years. Hes impressed me but recently he hasnt in all star games and such. After this hes back i believe we got one.
Both Cooper and Ace Bailey just didn't have the ball in their hands that much in the McDonald's game. At the Nike Hoop Summit, he played great in spite of his foul trouble which led to him sitting the entire second quarter.
COOPER FLAGG, just 17, is already MULTI-SKILLED (shown in his other video footages; can play 1/2/3/4). He showcased his PERIMETER SHOOTING/SKILLSET with high confidence against the NBA'S BEST PLAYERS. He can develop into a VG ALL AROUND PLAYER in the NBA. He'll be a FUTURE #1 PICK in the NBA DRAFT 🎯
When you see a kid like cooper shine against nba veterans it just really shows the difference between how they play before they get paid and how they play after!!!!!!!EFFORT is the difference!!!
The fact an 18 year old can hold his own on a court of NBA players is impressive.. Caitlin Clark is also absolutely killing it btw, just had a triple double to beat the #1 team in the WNBA, so your argument is kind of dumb anyways
The cool thing is this experience should improve what he can do at Duke. I know he has been playing against good players for a while, but to basically play in the all star game is another level.
Bruh.....Spurs need to say fuck it and go PURE tank and get this kid. Lol fucking trade all your future firsts to Washington, detroit, and the other shit teams lol make sure you end up with number 1 this year. Wemby and Flagg gonna be DIRTY I wanted the thunder to end up getting Flagg but there is 0 chance that happens now unless they are able to call Washington and say take 4 firsts for your first next year and do the same with Detroit. But him with Wemby that Defense, shot-blocking, rebounding and both able to grab a rebound and take off leading the fast break and both being able to spot up from outside giving you legit size but also a 5 out offense.
You’re saying that, like Christian Laettner was a bum in the NBA. He actually had a pretty solid career. Flagg’s ceiling may actually be far beyond that though. The fact that he’s playing harder than anybody in a scrimmage should actually be a credit to him and that he doesn’t pick and choose when he wants to compete.
That's why no one likes Skip and his Show. This wasn't no domination. The players taking it easy and u have to go that far by saying a 17 years dominated. SKIP shut the fork up
You wild duke stay coming up short they couldn’t win with the number one two and three recruit in they class with Zion and them but they gonna get it done now lol and they had coach k at that point
I dunno, I watched his mixtape, he's not much of a shooter and how much value does a 6'9 wing have without the shooting to go with it. Sounds like a 3&D wing minus the 3, which isn't really all that valuable in the NBA. Hope I'm proven wrong, but I just don't get the hype that's out there for him currently.
1) he shot 38% this past year from 3. 2) he’s currently playing against the best in the nba and is holding his own at 17. If you don’t know why he’s getting hype then you don’t understand. He’s suppose to be going to his senior year and is competing against ALL NBA Guys
@@cameronbolden5064 I couldn't find the exact percentages, but from what I could find, he's taking less than 2 3s a game, that's not a great sample size. There was a point where Valanciunas was averaging 50% from 3 on similar volume. Does that make him a great shooter / floor spacer? To clarify, I'm not comparing the two from an overall skill perspective, obviously Cooper is more athletic, versatile, and a better defender. But you can't dismiss the lack of spacing being a negative when the modern NBA is all about spacing. Just look at Scoot Henderson and how his first year went. Again, I'm hopeful he turns into something great, I'm just not sold yet at this point. He has a lot of ground to cover still before he'll be able to do this at an NBA level, it's all fun and games dunking on high school kids. And I'm glad he's getting an opportunity to train against all NBA guys, but a low stakes scrimmage is very different from the NBA. Will he be able to stack blocks on guys that are NBA veterans with twice the size of high schoolers with better athleticism and feel for the game. Will he be able to get to the rim and dunk on the best athletes in the world that are as tall or taller than him. Does he have the shooting ability to force people to respect him and open up the floor for himself and others. These are all questions that remain to be answered. I get we love potential in young people, but let's hold up before proclaiming this kid the best NBA prospect in the last 20 years. It's not fair to fans or to Cooper himself to try and live up to these expectations. Let him grow his game and mature, I'm excited too, but potential isn't reality, and the reality is that he hasn't proven anything yet.
shots definitely a work in porgress but he projects to be a generational defender.. imagine a modern day Andrei Kiralinko with a tighter handle and better shot
I thought he was apart of the USA team, he plays with his teammates, appears to be under control all the time. He should do a year or two in college and her to the big stage . He will definitely be top 3, if not number one in the NBA draft. Special talent.
Not taking anything away from him, I’m sure he’ll be great; but this is like an open run! Lightly contested shots. No real defense. The fact that he is unfazed by the players he’s running with, is amazing!
People dont even talk about his biggest upside. a SF that rim protects at an elite level, while being an all around superstar, and so far, without needing to be too ball dominant.
Do we really believe they were playing at their best? they have now need to prove anything so they were just going through the drills while Cooper could be making the best of the oppertunity. You can only truly measure how good he is when he is playing them at their best.
The thing I like the most about Cooper is his attitude, the kid plays with a swagger to him!
he plays like a brotha its no coincidence lol
If you are white swagger is a positive. Negative if you are black, once they get tired of the hype.

One good game is not enough. Sometimes it's your birthday, let's see if he can be consistent...
Do we really believe they were playing at their best? they have now need to prove anything so they were just going through the drills while Cooper could be making the best of the oppertunity. You can only truly measure how good he is when he is playing them at their best.
The nba players never play at there best wake up bro😅😅😅😅😅
