Saw Montverde three times this year, twice against nationally ranked opponents. He was the best player on the court in every game and he was a 15 year old sophomore. Crazy.
they should probable edit out that first move he makes on this video -- two travels. first he drags his pivot foot, then he lifts it before releasing the ball on his first dribble. oh waitl. nevermind. he does it every time -- couldn't possibly edit them all out or you'd be left with a 2 minute video. of course, joel embiid does it too so he's in good company. i guess it ain't illegal if nobody calls it.
16 with a 25 year old's body and a 30 year old's game. His court sense is unreal for such a young player. Wish they'd shown him playing more man defense.
In the name of Tom Chambers! This kid has a Jumper , Handle , Height , Smarts , Defense, Tenacity, Body control, and a good temperament . But the most impressive thing is his athleticism. All this makes him a 16 year old grown man among young men on the Basketball court…… the sky’s the limit ..
his decision making and shot selections are all at a high level maturity , no wasted motion. Too good, probably one of the best hs prospect since lebron. His plays are just so clean it gives me chills
Having seen him in person both at the middle school and his freshman year at Nokomis I am beyond impressed with how smart and athletic Cooper is not only his skills on the court but his ability to see the floor and utilize his teammates as well I can definitely say wherever he goes he will represent the state of Maine well
I live like 10 minutes away from Nokomis in Corinna but by the time I heard about this kid he was already moved to another school out of state I believe. Can't believe a prospect like this is from our tiny state of Maine and especially such a rural small town like Newport.
mid range release reminds me a lot of ray allen with the leverage he gets off the ground. but then when he steps out for 3 he doesn't use much jump, almost bird-esk. super impressive to see a kid that young with that kind of skill set.
@@anthonytaylor7928 Relax dude, just compliments for a young man who doesn't have any professional accolades yet but shows some similarities to some guys that do.
I've LITERALLY never seen anyone move their pivot foot as much as he does when he spots up off the ball and gets a pass to him. He does it just about every single time.
Everything looks so natural to him. Shotmaking, drives, blocks etc... Gives some Doncic vibes for me definitely not the same but the way he seems so relaxed and everything looks easy.
His game is as mature as a college senior, and he's as efficient as a pro. There's no wasted energy physically or emotionally. A truly remarkable 16 year old.
@@hansgordy how has he not played against hard comp... he goes to montverde. They have one of the best programs in the country, so they aren't exactly playing against bums.
Great shot form. Can handle the ball either hand. Sees the court. Plays above the rim. Good passer. Great athlete. A ton going for him. Keep healthy and stay focused
Hard to imagine this kid NOT being a good NBA player, just got too much funk. Fabulous. Notice his shots tend to go in clean, zippin those cords, unreal
Love how effortless he splits the double team at the key has great ball control and takes it to the rim with power and finesse what surprised me tho is how quick his first step is especially for his size and length the speed u would expect from a guard wow special talent reminds me of a you g Tracy McGrady with a stroke like dirk nowinski
Watched some of this kid when he played hs basketball in Maine before transferring to Florida? He's unreal. You can't believe he's 16, and it's not just his body type which is insane it's also his maturity and IQ and commitment to defense. He's my favorite bball player right now and he's not even in the league yet haha.
I can tell he’s special because he moves slow. Meaning he reads and sees the game at a higher level so he plays 2 steps ahead. No need to rush when you see plays before they materialize, just patience. Most players would rush 90% of those shots or settle after 20 dribbles. He’s just calm and patient.
@steviechampagne Luka dribbles the ball 100 times per game. The difference with Cooper is that he’s gonna play the game like it’s King of the Court with just 1-3 dribbles & get to his spot
To be in a conversation that compares a sixteen year old to anything regarding Luka's skills is amazing. Imagine what Mother Nature does to a male body between ages sixteen and twenty-one. Fifty years ago I was a skinny 6'8" sixteen year old that eventually completed my high school career with All-State worthy stats. In that era strength and conditioning for high school and college players was in the stone age compared to today. Even with that, my twenty year old self was on a totally different level of strength and skills because of that strength. Cooper should be fun to watch him continue developing. 🏀👍👍
Dumb comparison why did you say that because hes white? Oh and by the way Larry didn't get too many blocks.this kid works hard to carve his own niche y'all need to stop with all of the dumb comparisons
All the skills, physical attributes, and athleticism to dominate any game he plays in. Very blessed! I pray he remains humble as the world exalts and exploits his God given talent and work ethic.
@@The_North0Yes, so at least EVERYONE knows he won’t mess up his chances by trying to be a “gangsta”, right? I think we all know what kind of talented high school player makes that mistake.
Dude will be a monster with nba spacing gonna be able to get to his spots easily no wasted dribbles or movements either and already has faceup counters knows how to move without the ball as well and defensively is a great help rim protector he gonna be a terrific player in any role a team wants him to do
If he’s white he’s incredibly smart. If he’s black he’s extraordinarily athletic. Not saying Flagg isn’t a smart player. But of all the aspects of his game? I mean…Come on Archie Bunker, say something original.
He should just do the Scoot Henderson path of 2 years on G-league Ignite, and skip college altogether. More money and better development for a future career in the NBA.

It's effortless for the kid only the special ones have that everything looks like it comes easy to him great talent can't wait to see him play at the co)ege level and really see what this kid has
Kid reminds me of Dirk Nowitzki. Very high basketball IQ, great shooting, good ball handling, can drive to the basket. He is in that weird spot where you hope that he can keep his athleticism if he grows taller, or you hope that he stays the same height and he gains a bit more athleticism. But for his age, height and current physical shape it all looks pretty good.
a very good all around prospect, can handle the ball and has good playmaking iq around the floor, a pretty good shooter and can swing u the rock if u needed it, and i love his interior defense as that's a good defensive strength he has in his bag
I’m memorized by his mature game , his movements are precise economical and efficient. He is so easy on the eyes. Such class in his style and execution .. the only thing I wouldn’t do is the celebrations.
This kid def has some talent for sure for the NBA, Hopefully they will show more of his defense as well and not just blocks. Post and one one one defense. But his offense and stroke looks great!
An incredibly special talent, and just16 years old that is what is so crazy. Complete player with a complete skill set. With that being said, the 44-year coach in me does see a sloppy pivot foot, and he gets an extra step constantly, but not a complaint of his talent or abilities.
He seems to have great court awareness and great instincts for the game. He athleticism is fantastic. He'll probably grow out of rebounding his own shot so much because the level of competition will only get stronger as he gets older and won't allow him to do that so easily.
U didn't even try spelling Bam Adebayo's last name correctly. You just put a bunch of letters and vowels together, looked at it for 2 seconds, made sure it looked decent enough for people to understand who u were referring to, and called it a day 💀
Fundamentally sound with his offensive game. He’s way beyond his age already like a star senior in college. Hope he is mentally tough for what is to come because he’s going to be fun to watch in the NBA
This is the kind of kid who comes into the NBA and adds like 20-30 wins in his first season. Quite possibly even lead a team to the playoffs. And I'm talking today. In like 2 years or whenever he goes, that's a guy who can lead a team on a playoff run, first season, no cap. Complete player who is hyper competitive and dominating everyone.
I played ball. NYC. Saw the best. He has no weakness as I can see it. Let's start with defense. He is an amazing defender - blocking the number of shots he blocks, getting steals in the open court and single handedly looking like Pete Maravich with his ball skills. Offensively, he finishes to the hoop with seemingly effortless power and speed. Can shoot from anywhere and his footwork is already stellar.
On The NBA Radio Talk Show " The Starting Lineup " Brian Scalabrini & Frank Isola Really Talked How Good This Dude Is & By Watching This Video I'm Impressed & He Gets My Approval ... And Tom Izzo & John Calapari I'm Sure 🏀👍👍💯✌️
His mom haha. Literally. Look her up, crazy high school and college career in her own right. And there’s two of them! I watched a game and another kid stood out, turned out it’s his twin brother.
The next Larry Bird that can jump, lol!! Great athleticism, shot, touch, dribbling and most importantly awareness and anticipation ability. He gets double teamed he knows immediately where the open guy is. Duke is extremely lucky to have him coming their way!
He loves the middie out of a triple threat quite a bit in this highlight package, which is not really available or considered to be highly efficient in the NBA. But you can see with his ball-handling, pick-and-roll navigation, shooting stroke, overall athleticism, size, and court mapping that he could be a huge star. One comp I see right away is Jayson Tatum - the fluidity and economy of motion, the shooting, the 3-level scoring, the handle at this size, the athleticism. But he also has some Andrew Wiggins type athleticism and leaping ability around the basket, can clearly put pressure on the rim.
Andrew Wiggins ?? If u look down the comments hes been compared to four or five people these comparisons are Soo stupid this kid works hard to carve his own niche
Can't determine how solid a 3 point shooter he is from this video but his release point is lower from 3 suggesting he needs to add a bit more strength to have a consistent shooting form and release point. He's a set shooter from 3 right now but if he gets strong enough to shoot at the apex of his jump he'll be unstoppable. Not a knock because he's so young... the strength should come soon. Great looking player!
two things that seperate him from your every other typical great white hype - - he can move his feet - his defence is nice- look how many intercepts he gets- and blow bys. - he can create his own shot. he s not just a spot up - but can work from triple threat like baby melo/tatum. third one- he s pretty athletic.
It’s amazing the athleticism, skill level, and iq these young players have nowadays. Players were nothing like this 20 years ago. Kudos to him though. Hopefully he stays healthy
I like how he takes that extra millisecond to add complete control on his shot. He has that awareness on the court as well as anybody ive seen to create his own space and get to the basket. He plays like a white George Gervin, lol. Special kid.

As Bird told Clyde Drexler, “You can’t stop me”. Drexler responded, “Gosh, you’re so confident”. Bird said, “ You’re a rookie. You don’t know anything”.

It looks sloppy because he kinda hurries it, at that age bracket the pace of the game is mostly 75% of full speed ...its run and run...
no worries, he has a few more years to learn to slide that pivot foot another 6-12 inches and fit right into the NBA!

two things that seperate him from your every other typical great white hype -
- he can move his feet - his defence is nice- look how many intercepts he gets- and blow bys.
- he can create his own shot. he s not just a spot up - but can work from triple threat like baby melo/tatum.

I like how he takes that extra millisecond to add complete control on his shot. He has that awareness on the court as well as anybody ive seen to create his own space and get to the basket. He plays like a white George Gervin, lol. Special kid.
He gone be tough in future
