You like Harper better, fine? But calling Flagg "trash" is a good way to ensure the rest of the board ignores your posts from now on. Save that crap for the GB.

Role player at best. Yes, he is trash. Got told that he’s generational and better prospect than Zion. Flagg is not even sniffing Banchero or Simmons as a prospect.

Flagg’s main pro is defense, that’s about it and he’s never going to anchor a defense. So what does that make him? A role player. He isn’t an elite playmaker, not an elite scorer, good at rebounding and good at defense. Not one of the best prospects since Bron, not generational, not even the best prospect in his own class

I get what the other poster is saying about Flagg being white, clean cut and American. It may be silly, but that plays a role in popularity, and if you live in America, you know it. Jokic and Luka aren't Americans. He's basically the only real talented white American stud since Larry Bird, and he was popular for being white. Flagg will be the male Caitlin Clark, especially since we know how this country voted just now. :lol:

I don't want to derail the thread with this kind of talk, but you can't act like it's not a thing. It definitely is. And no one will admit it, but if a team wants to sell tickets and jerseys, that will secretly be part of the consideration if he's drafted number 1 overall.

Got it. So you're another guy who's just salty that analysts over-exaggerate to generate clicks, and don't really have any real insight. I'll make sure to quickly glance over your posts for now on.

Man y'all are weird. This post is weird.

You turning a basketball discussion into a race popularity discussion. Talking about Trump winning the election because he's white lol.

Grow up dude you sound ridiculous.

Says the guy who is comparing Flagg to a female hooper.

If anyone needs ignoring it's you. You race baiting in a basketball thread. Super weird. :roll:

Do you honestly watch him play? This duke roster is mid without him. Proctor is a good college guard and they have the other white freshman shooter and the African who is raw as hell. He has to create and do so much on offense.

You screaming what Flagg brings to the table, yet you had college basketball analysts gushing over Harper and saying Flagg is no longer a lock for the #1 pick.

Seems like you mad Flagg now has competition for that top spot. I have eyes and it's clear Harper brings just as much to the table as Flagg and it shows with his production.


I never miss a Duke game. I couldn't care less what fraudulent "analysts" gush about or say. There's as much of a chance Harper goes #1 over Flagg as there was Scoot going #1 over Wemby.

I think you're discounting how box office Flagg is. Even if we pretend Harper is as good or better, he's just another point guard and the NBA is so loaded with them now, so much that quality ones recently drafted can't even see the floor. No team picking #1 is choosing a point guard over box office like Flagg. He'd need to be head and shoulders better.

Flagg is white, good looking, plays hard, is uber talented and is a two-way wing which there is a dearth of in the NBA. It's not happening. But that doesn't mean I won't see you pushing the narrative all over this board though :lol: so have at it. If it will negate some of the incessant Brandon Miller posts I'm all for it.
I stopped reading after you said Flagg is white and good looking. That's just some weird stuff bro.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving I'm done. :lol:


right? marketability never plays a role in these decisions...oh wait

Larry Bird being white was a major reason for the NBA's resurgence after the 1970s. White fans came back in droves because of him. White kids began playing basketball and wanting to be like him resulting in more opportunities for them at higher levels. It's not race-baiting lmao. I'm the last person that would do that. It's just a factor. Sorry it triggers you so.

Where have you been the last 18 months? Clark put women's college basketball on the map and made people watch the WNBA. Are you so dense you don't believe her being white played no part in that? That her being white didn't elicit hatred from the true race-baiters that were triggered that a white girl was dominating the headlines. Ladies, it was literally all people talked about for like a year. Where have you been?

So yeah, I DO think race, looks and marketability play a major role in drafts and if it comes down to Harper or Flagg going #1 it will be A factor in the decision. Pretending it isn't and mocking me for saying it makes you look clownish tbh.

They’re mid with him. What are we talking about here? I’ve watched most of Flagg’s games. Matter of fact, after thinking about it and looking at the stats, he’s pretty much a less efficient Josh Jackson of Kansas. Their stat line is damn near the same. Assesment damn near the same, Jack of all trades player that won’t be a top scorer

Are you **** kidding? Only race baiters who made it about race were your people when lsu beat Clark’s ass in the championship and tried to make her a victim. Ionescu was dominating college and wnba deadlines yet this race narrative never came up. Foh you racist piece of ****. Reporting this bull ass post. You’re not even rating Flagg on his game, but strictly based on him being white and your homosexual attraction to him. I bet you scream dei in your sleep too, clown

unhinged much lmao?!!!

I HAVE rated Flagg on his game. Reading comprehension is hard huh? Two-way wing? Point forward? Elite BBIQ. Banchero with D? Did you miss that through your seething? But if it's close, his marketability, could very well give him the edge. BTW you're going to be okay. Don't worry, Rachel Maddow just signed an extension so you'll continue getting her show :lol:

I understand concerns about Cooper developing into a 1st option, I have them too. But it's weird seeing people call him trash when his all-around game is so advanced for a 17-year-old.

Even if he a #1 option, he can still become an all-star. That's how confident I feel about his versatility.

Bro why are you bringing up Clark and Bird in a thread about Flagg. None of them are the same kind of player.

You keep race baiting. Talk basketball. I don't care if Flagg is white and good looking and marketable.

I care about his game. He's not living up to the hype so far.

:lol:

Race is such a sensitive topic with some of you people. Time to grow up.

We don't ever see white American prospects as good as Flagg. Literally not since Larry Bird. Just because some people are overly sensitive about anything involving race doesn't mean it's not a valid talking point, as long as you're adult about it. Dude wasn't racist or insensitive about it at all. But you just flew off the deep end like a teenager. Get a grip.

Are you **** kidding? Only race baiters who made it about race were your people when lsu beat Clark’s ass in the championship and tried to make her a victim. Ionescu was dominating college and wnba deadlines yet this race narrative never came up. Foh you racist piece of ****. Reporting this bull ass post. You’re not even rating Flagg on his game, but strictly based on him being white and your homosexual attraction to him. I bet you scream dei in your sleep too, clown


:lol:

Race is such a sensitive topic with some of you people. Time to grow up.

We don't ever see white American prospects as good as Flagg. Literally not since Larry Bird. Just because some people are overly sensitive about anything involving race doesn't mean it's not a valid talking point, as long as you're adult about it. Dude wasn't racist or insensitive about it at all. But you just flew off the deep end like a teenager. Get a grip.


Damn they already forgot about Luka.

Larry Bird being white was a major reason for the NBA's resurgence after the 1970s. White fans came back in droves because of him. White kids began playing basketball and wanting to be like him resulting in more opportunities for them at higher levels. It's not race-baiting lmao. I'm the last person that would do that. It's just a factor. Sorry it triggers you so.

Where have you been the last 18 months? Clark put women's college basketball on the map and made people watch the WNBA. Are you so dense you don't believe her being white played no part in that? That her being white didn't elicit hatred from the true race-baiters that were triggered that a white girl was dominating the headlines. Ladies, it was literally all people talked about for like a year. Where have you been?

Is this a basketball forum or a race forum? Stfu you race baiting clown. Either Flagg is good enough to be #1 or he’s not. If your argument for Flagg being number 1 is him being white then you’re a race baiting clown like the other dude
