it's almost as if people should actually wait for a large enough sample size to stake their claims

did anybody stake a claim on him? or were they just acknowledging what was happening in real time?

sincere question - i have no idea, but there is a chance you are projecting a bit here, hence the question.

projecting what? You literally had someone call him a role player. You had another say no way they'd take him over Harper.

did you read the thread or are you the one projecting?

Cooper has been brilliant lately. He's gotten more and more comfortable as the season progresses.

i asked a question. sounds like the answer is yes, they did stake a claim on him. strange answer, but i'll take it.

He's giving me young Grant Hill vibes ngl. Kid is a beast.

This isn't getting close. Flagg is a whole tier better than Harper.

The gap between Flagg and Harper is bigger than the gap between Harper and the field.

Generational true #1 picks get better with the season. Flagg is getting better every single game despite being the youngest player on the floor every single play.

He’s doing whatever he wants right now. You’d think he was 23

ACC freshman scoring record. That’s pretty impressive considering all the high level talent that has gone through the ACC in it’s history

Can’t hate. He’s doing his thing now. If his scoring keeps this way for rest of the season then he’s running away with number 1

Braggins · Post #535 » by **Braggins** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 7:22 pm

He has been the clear #1 pick the entire season.

azcatz11 · Post #536 » by **azcatz11** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 7:30 pm

He straight up dominated today. What a performance

Cooper planted his Flagg as the #1 pick today.

12-22 in his last 6 games from 3. Seems like it wasn't long ago he was shooting 22% from 3.

Zion was the number 1 pick all year, undisputed.

I still preferred Ja Morant and would've taken Ja #1.

Zion's main issues have been injuries, weight & unavailability. You can't project those onto Flagg.

It seems like you're effectively using Flagg's success against him.
