Cooper Flagg will be a top 5 player by next year

And maybe the best player in the league in a few. What he’s doing is phenomenal for a kid who just turned 19. Lock for ROY. I’m not sure there’s ever been a player this young developed as far along as he is. Awesome all around player, his three is coming on now. He’s going to be unstoppable.

Without Ryan Nembhardt at the PG spot feeding him he wouldn’t be as good as he is.

SgA
Giannis

Him and Queen played together in HS? That seems unfair.

He’s a really good player but kets pump the brakes a bit after only 3 months.
Is he good because the team is not that good thus allowing him to shine? And when they start surrounding him with talent does that take away some of his chances or make him better?
Hard part about rookies doing great is sometimes they are on teams without lots of talent. This allows them more chances to ball out. The key will be as they add talent learning how to still get your points and stats yet keep other players involved. Its not easy to do.
We need more time to see how he does over the complete season as its a grind. He has the makings of being a great player so potential is there but too early to say for sure.

Harper will be the better pro. Maybe a couple others in the class as well.

The only other player this developed at his age was probably Lebron. And Flagg is breaking some of his rookie records. Also, he has a better attitude as he doesn’t cry like a bitch to the refs. He plays very good defensively…… he will be the best all around player in a few years.

All I’m saying is its too early to make such declarations. There are some great players he’ll need to pass. I don’t trust that franchise to do the right thing to help him long term. Maybe they will but time will tell. He has some talent that's for sure

I’d put lots of money on him being a top 5 in 3 years. Too much athleticism, height, and basketball IQ. Just hope no injury bugs get him in his careee.

They also had 2 other current NBA players on their high school roster.
