I think a lot of people saying these 5 freshman are excellent.

I get the timing of this makes it feel ridiculous but I watched the clip and it wasn’t like he was trying to be a hot take artist and take a ridiculous stance just for the hell of it like a Stephen a smith.

Just seems like he feels THAT strongly about those guys.

Mashburn is a damn idiot for that take. And we all know why he is hating on Flagg.

He doesnt want to admit that Kon K is better than those guys either. These college freshmen are overrated. Peterson looks really good when he plays. Boozer doesnt seem to have elite NBA athleticism or size; not sure if he is better than his dad. Wilson might be KG 2.0. AJD is huge and explosive but he isnt polished. Koa Peat better than Cooper Flagg? GTFO with that bullshite Jamal.

But Kon is a legit NBA sniper as a rookie. That is huge. I dont see any of those freshmen walking into the league and averaging more PPG than Coop and Kon.

Isn't it weird how the white players that dominate the NBA like Flagg, Jokic, Luka, etc. all get pretty much no respect on the shows?

What complete BS! Flagg is the first teenager in drop consecutive 30+ point Double-Doubles in NBA History JAMAL!

It is also like that for Skill position Football players...
Whitey has to really stand out ; go over & beyond to get noticed if you are a RB ; WR or DB

Listen to Christian McCaffrey's story thinking he was the Punter at Summer camps

Thankfully a Black coach (Shaw ) gave em the chance to play Tailback

White coaches in the SEC prolly would have made him a Slot WR

The Dallas Mavericks better hope Cooper Flagg slows down so they can end up with one of those five to pair up with him for the next decade.

Udonis was pretty much only a defensive player so this one isn’t so ridiculous to me

We should also acknowledge that if VJ was a White dude named CJ and Cooper was Black dude named Cooptavius, Udonis 100% wouldn't have said this, regardless of his defensive merchant background.
