I think Cooper Flagg should play more than one year at Duke. 3 years would be even better. He still a little skinny and needs to build up his body for NBA. It would be interesting to know what Magic Johnson thinks. I've heard him say that the NBA should not take in players under 20.
Nokomis in Newport, Me. Cooper was state player of the year as a high school freshman, led Nokomis to the state title that year then transferred to Montverde. I played at Nokomis 50 years ago with Cooper's grandfather. Never dreamed Newport would be on the map. LOL
@@HBoogie81 They had a great PG program. I used to play over there, pickup games with the basketball and football players. Good times. Lamar Odom, Sam Cassell come to mind, too, played there. They were later than I was playing.
There's a huge difference between him and those other draft picks, Cooper Flagg is a once in a few generations talent a very special and unique ball player who actually will put the work in after turning pro.
Big White Atheltic Skilled American born player from Maine…he’s a franchise dream. If he stays healthy He’s worth a Billion dollars to the NBA and he’s probably gonna make about that much. I’m not exaggerating
No magic no secret no circle or something. He is just damn good and he's big and he can handle the ball. He can do it all he's gonna grow into a phenom grow everybody has to grow in wisdom. He's gonna be ridiculously great.
Zion without his injuries is by no means a bust. Cooper plays harder and cares about winning. Doesnt have to score 20 he makes winning plays. Thats the difference he just wants to win and we havent seen that motor and talent since zion/lebron
I'll tell you why he's different...Because he's the best prospect I've seen since Lebron, he's better than Wemby and he's better than Zion. And it's not just that, this kid seems to have Zero Mental issues with lack of Hustle, being a bad Teammate, being overly arrogant, or having a lack of Focus. Let's face it this kid is gonna be a Superstar, and his Body frame and athleticism are Scary, can you imagine when he fills out that frame 🤯 I'm already a huge fan even though I hate Duke and will be rooting on my Arizona Wildcats to beat their ass, even though Coop will probably drop 40 on us!
@@21Cosmic I don't know him probably a good person but it's his slow movements was the first impression for me I think arenas and Peterson better and Cooper would destroy him in a open court game way faster 😭
This kid is a mega star machine. What he becomes when he learns the moves to really excel against the best is going to be something to see. Hes hardly being challenged coming in, and the room for growth is only waiting to be conqered. The phrase ""
"Let's just look at the last ten years... *names three guys*, and the list goes on and on..." Do you have some sort of time limit? Or did the AI that wrote most of your script get tired...?
he also doesnt over exert his efforts therefore..along with high iQ..when that energy is activated..its explosive and un-guardable..i compare him to KG more than any other player
He’s looking great at duke but I think he should at least do 2 years of college put some more muscle on and grow into his game he’d def be the #1 pick next year but I’d like to see 2 years of college maybe get duke another championship it’s been awhile since they’ve got one I think no matter what tho hes gunna be great in the pros if he just stays healthy fingers crossed
You said it best, there really is no cant miss when it comes to the nba. The kid will need to put on 20lbs of muscle, which he will, i think he will be mentally tough. i know im in the minority, i dont see nba superstar, i think hes gonna be a nice pro, maybe a few all-star appearances.
No. This kid is a far better ball handler, a far quicker leaper, a much higher leaper, a better mid range shooter, and he finishes with much more power. KVH was nowhere near as good.
@@skywalker2759 Cause he KG and KD mix. Not tall as KD and KD got the better handles but Cooper hustles more and his defense is like KG but he not strong as him. He got good mix just needs to keep working
Hey Hoop Dungeon....Wiggins is an ROY, NBA Champ, All star....get off his back...all you TH-cam hoops "experts" always use him as a bad example...ridiculous
@@keithmcdonald6920 Cooper makes his teammates better. You have to watch his game for a while to appreciate how high his basketball IQ is. He almost always makes the right basketball play. Many times that leads to someone else looking good. Cooper sees the game the way Bird, Magic and Lebron see it. When the team needs him to score 40 he will. Until then he'll make his teammates better which makes the team better.
Not everyone could be Lebron or Wemby? Wemby, who's in year 2, and already considered an all time great? Yea, his potential is good, but this is recency bias. We've seen some of those "failure" #1 picks talked about in this video, post some crazy #'s and look like they're gonna be stars for years to come.

Cooper is super special. He really is exceptional
Cooper got that dog in him! Hes different than the other players you showed in the clip.
Didn't even talk about how he helped his original high school he played for the high school team in 8th grade. Before he went to Florida
Facts he skipped right over that smh

You didn't exactly fill in anything they left out.
Just helped them... do something.
He is going to be ok in the pros. Proud of him
There's a huge difference between him and those other draft picks, Cooper Flagg is a once in a few generations talent a very special and unique ball player who actually will put the work in after turning pro.
I've been a Duke fan for 60 years and I've never seen a player quite like him.
Off to a fantastic (historic!) start at Duke. Can't wait to see Flagg in the NBA.
when guys from the league are showing up at his HS games, thats as much respect as you can ask for
Bro, how do you leave out Scottie Barnes? He went to Mount Verde too!
Big White Atheltic Skilled American born player from Maine…he’s a franchise dream.
If he stays healthy He’s worth a Billion dollars to the NBA and he’s probably gonna make about that much. I’m not exaggerating
His mother played at my school, UMaine!
He’s perfect for Utah or Oklahoma city…..Just like Ja Morant in Memphis
@@tjlpartners8263 Kelly's in the Maine Basketball Hall of Fame
@@Thunderstick-y8h not utah boo
@@Thunderstick-y8h if okc gets him they'll be the next dynasty. That team is loaded with overachievers right now.
I am looking forward to seeing this dude playing in the NBA.
No magic no secret no circle or something. He is just damn good and he's big and he can handle the ball. He can do it all he's gonna grow into a phenom grow everybody has to grow in wisdom. He's gonna be ridiculously great.
"Since Wemby.." lol that's like saying I've been fasting, since breakfast.
Im gonna use that, maybe since 2nd breakfast
Lol..... For real.
Well done analysis.
He's a beast in 2k
Cooper is like that future nba superstar
Cooper is like that, he is a future NBA superstar.
Garnett didnt have the passing and play making capability i see in cooper tho
Zion without his injuries is by no means a bust. Cooper plays harder and cares about winning. Doesnt have to score 20 he makes winning plays. Thats the difference he just wants to win and we havent seen that motor and talent since zion/lebron
He's gonna be scary good. Cant wait to see him play Wemby

That's crazy bro let's pump the brakes a bit he hasn't proven to be better than either Wemby or Zion at this point lol
@@eotrizzle😂 You are right. He acts as if he is the successor of Jesus. Wemby is in a different league than Cooper.
easy on wemby
In no universe is he better than wemby but he’s good
Not even close to Wemby. Geez.
I want the kid to succeed in the pros. I just wish the media should leave him alone.
He shoots like AK47. It's more like AK47 and Garnett had a love child and he got Garnett's defense and AK's offense.
Aks offence?
Coincidence that Utah is tanking?
Yup. Smaller AK but AK was a little more accomplished as an amateur
I love hoop dungeon, best ball account on YT!
Gervin's shot, Dominique's inside power, Bird's basketball IQ, Garnett's edge...Cooper should be fine.
I agree with everyone but bird. Ironic considering they're the only two white dudes, but he's more like a Garnett type than anyone else here
@@robarmstrong5404 Like Bird because he sees the game the same, not that his game is anything like Larry's.
You watched him play highschool basketball and a few college games and you seen all that in him? Exaggerate much?
@@kevinreed3858 Didn't see against the pros, eh? You are one stupid mfer.
@@kevinreed3858 Are paying attention?
His competitive motor is like Kobe.
Ulul
Thanks for the inside!
Meanwhile Joker has the athleticism of Scalabrine on his worst day and yet dominates the NBA night after night.
This man is a role player at best
Reminds me of a hybrid combination between Larry Bird and Lebron James.
Crazy how his stats were just as good as mine in high school and I only had 1 division 1 offer and we the same height same play style everything
You went undefeated?
@ we lost 1 game my senior year & went to states all 4 years in high school
@@Trip2Shiestywent not won?
@@BR-ms9lj sure didn’t win 🤣
It almost looked like he did that windmill on the break without using his off hand.
Aj dybansanta and cooper are gonna be next wave .
Just Coop arenas and kneght
@Baylorbetterthanbrown you don't like Dubasanta?
@@21Cosmic I don't know him probably a good person but it's his slow movements was the first impression for me I think arenas and Peterson better and Cooper would destroy him in a open court game way faster 😭
This kid is the EXTREMELY ATHLETIC version of Larry Bird. Now that's scary!
gonna be the next good role player in the NBA

"Let's just look at the last ten years... *names three guys*, and the list goes on and on..."
Do you have some sort of time limit?
Or did the AI that wrote most of your script get tired...?
2 things you cant teach 'killer instinct' and 'foot-hand-eye-coordination'...you can nurture them but you either have it or you dont
its all in the foot work ! he's great at it !! .. look at jordan footwork !!
Being compared to Kevin Garnet? that’s high praise indeed!
6:05 should have used left hand
he also doesnt over exert his efforts therefore..along with high iQ..when that energy is activated..its explosive and un-guardable..i compare him to KG more than any other player
I feel like cooper flag is more of a Kawhi Leonard than with a more polished offensive game than Kevin Garnet
Idk if KG meant like an American cat when he said cold ass white boy, because if not, thats a grave disservice to Luka.
What do you think, will he be as good as LeBron or just Giannis?
The eye test makes him better than Wiggins, Simmons, and Zion
Don't ignore the fact that Luka was drafted into the NBA when he was only 19 years old!
He’s looking great at duke but I think he should at least do 2 years of college put some more muscle on and grow into his game he’d def be the #1 pick next year but I’d like to see 2 years of college maybe get duke another championship it’s been awhile since they’ve got one I think no matter what tho hes gunna be great in the pros if he just stays healthy fingers crossed

He will be a superstar.
He is or will be the perfect mix between Larry Bird and Kawai Leonard
Looks similar to scootie pippen?
do you think coop is like kg
He's a KG KD Hybrid lol
The 2nd coming of Keith van Horne 😎
No. This kid is a far better ball handler, a far quicker leaper, a much higher leaper, a better mid range shooter, and he finishes with much more power. KVH was nowhere near as good.
Yo my friend that’s his cousin he met him when he was 1 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀
I've compared him to amare stoudemire/ kevin garnett
Cooper reminds me of Kevin Garnet the way he plays
It took chatgpt 1 minute to write this script.
Hi is a sure bet...
What makes him a sure superstar, he plays like Ben Simmons BUT with shooting .
Kevin Garnett is Cooper Flagg's floor.
But copper is going to play the 3 lmao
He’s a wing 🪽
Anything is possible 😂😂😂
That's ridiculous.
😂😂😂
@@skywalker2759 Cause he KG and KD mix. Not tall as KD and KD got the better handles but Cooper hustles more and his defense is like KG but he not strong as him. He got good mix just needs to keep working
He's better than KG..
0:21 Luka
Dude, he is different in that he plays hard no matter comp that is difference and plays at both ends. He will dominate in NBA which is lazy as shit
hes gonna a andre kirilenko but more better
Hey Hoop Dungeon....Wiggins is an ROY, NBA Champ, All star....get off his back...all you TH-cam hoops "experts" always use him as a bad example...ridiculous
He's a Maine native one needs to be strong to deal with Maine weather, he will get better he knows the functionality of the game.
❤❤
Bulls organization take notes
While european prospects already facing european pro League every week...
😏
Duke bigman curse will take over. Overhyped, always injured or role player worstcase bust.
Now it's just big men? Lol ..... Used to be all positions.
@@jcb4826kyrie and tatum broke it, big men from duke always been underwhelming players like okafor, christian laettner and okafor
Cooper has a ceiling. The greatest college basketball player all time, Christian Laettner
Come on man...are you fucking serious?,
KG just gonna disrespect Luca
He was talking about white American players. So I'm saying Chet Holmgren is that cold a.. white boy.
American white boy😂
I do see a better kg
Dude acting like Zion is a bust or some shit...wtf.
Exactly. Zion is already in the Krispy Kreme Hall of Fame.
he's all amercian.
He’s peaking too early.
He hasn't even developed an outside shot yet and consistency. He's only 17 he's just getting started.
you just put wimpy wemby name next to lebron. one of those guys has 22 wins and the other has 1,152. can't take you seriously
This video is dumb, such a flawed argument
That was an amazing counter-argument. I'm convinced
Carolina fan for sure
He made 3 million dollars at 17 years old😮
White
Yeah
If he was black nobody would even think about doubting him
It goes both ways. If a coach is black, people are much more critical.
😅He just played average vs Maine and Kon K has been a better scorer…. No one is saying anything.
