I would think most teams can find a more explosive and electric guard that you’d rather have initiate, but I do like that his game doesn’t really have holes either. He can create for himself and others, he can play off the ball, and his defense is just amazing. His speed/leaping isn’tnin that Giannis/AD tier for 6’10ish guys, but his fluidity and overall mobility is just so smooth and coordinated, it’s going to translate super well I think.
I think AK47 is the clearest defensive comparison for sure. Not sure offensively. Ben is faster and more explosive in the open floor, but I think Cooper just has more weapons and aggression to score.

No idea why you even put him on the VC/Tmac level he's not that kind of player imo.
I think he's Ak47 with a more developed offensive game. I don't see him being a top 5 scorer in this league, he seems more of a all-around threat. I think he can top out with 22/8/8 at his peak.

He's definitely gonna score more than 22 per game at his peak. It's too damn easy to score in the league now, and whoever drafts him is most likely going to be a bad team that lets him do whatever he wants.

Those guys were elite scorers for multiple years. Hell Tmac is in the conversation for best scorer of all time. I just don't see that kind of talent with Flagg.
Well when you put it that way you kind of have a point. Those guys aren't really that great yet they averaged 30.Big J wrote:JustBuzzin wrote:Tmac and VC though?Big J wrote:

Yea, I think he could be close to those guys at his peak. Look at Jaylen Brown, he averaged 26 per game last year and he wasn't even the best scorer on his own team. Zach Lavine & Brad Beal averaged a 30 burger a piece. Scoring is way easier now than when TMac & Vince played.
I actually don't think his defense is going to translate as well to the next level. Him blocking a bunch of 5-10 high school dudes looks cool on highlight films, but he's not going to be doing that in the NBA.

Not even remotely close to Iggy defensively. Iggy had better functional wiry strong athleticism. Flagg has more of the Chase Budinger/Pat Connaughton high jumping showy athleticism.
