I think a lot of teams will regret passing on Will Richard. I watched him at UF and his defensive instincts are excellent. I was skeptical a little because of his size but didn't realize he was as long as he is. I'm still hoping he makes Moody available.

When are we going to stop pretending that Cooper Flagg is not Jayson Tatum (I never got that) and is more like a rich man's Tom Gugliotta? Or Andrei Kirilenko-ish. I actually think Flagg has the potential to be a much better all-around player than Tatum but those comps are a stretch.

Also, Kidd may not be the right guy for young Flagg.

These courts are probably my one gripe about this NBA cup the league is trying to do. Easily the tackiest part of it imo.

I like most courts but they need to run some more tests on these. That wolves court should not have passed whatever standards they have.

A dude who can be 3/4 Kirilenko on defense, and make shots (above average level) and run pick and roll (abive average) is an all star level guy who could fit in any team’s lineup. I think Flagg is going to hit those benchmarks.

You left out the Keith Van Horn comp.

2025 draft could turn out like the 1994 Big Dog draft where the guys right after him turn out better. Don’t know. That said, it’s been only nine games. Let’s see where he’s at in March. Dallas is a dumpster fire of an organization at the moment.

Unpopular opinion: I like the Twolves court
Coach Drew: "Milwaukee has always been a team that I have been intrigued by. When we played them, they were a tough team for us to play. Although we did beat them all four times"

Flagg is still just 18. You could see in college he still had a long way to go developing his offence. He has a high floor but the ceiling is very debatable.
