Have to mention Ban Saraf. The dude is 18 years old playing professionally in Germany putting up great numbers and making very clutch plays both in the German first league and in the EuroCup (arguably 3rd best competition in the world after NBA and Euroleague). I would argue he should be a Lottery pick at the minimum but should even be taken top 8-10.
Gilbert Arenas is not normally the voice of reason, but he nailed the Cooper Flagg draft debate. If a team needs an impact scorer to be their #1 or #2, there are better options. If they have a good team with some holes, he is going to be a goldmine of being able to contribute in multiple ways with a good attitude. That and he's going to be incredibly coachable since he is high school age.
You look at Cooper's stats in the games Duke has played against real competition (Kentucky, Arizona, Kansas, Auburn, Louisville and George Mason), and it's over 21 points a game with almost 10 rebounds as a 17 year old. His numbers go way down when you add the games Duke won by 30. They focused other young players in those games. Harper is the only freshman with numbers as impressive as that. For the life of me I can't see why Cooper can't develop into a first or 2nd option. Due to his passing ability, teams are going to want him having the ball in his hands as a point forward. He shot 39% on 3's last year. His shot will come back eventually.
@ eventually I agree, but that’s why it’s risky if a team that needs a dominant scorer picks him. It might take him a few years to adjust. And at his age, I wouldn’t be shocked if he went right into the free agent market as fast as he’s allowed. If the Wizards did pick him and still sucked when he could test the market, why wouldn’t he go to a contender to establish himself as a winner? If you pick him, you better have a plan and it better work.
Jakuconis is sooooo nasty. Cold blooded shooter, playmakes like a veteran nba point and plays off ball fast like Steph. If he gets good playing time, I think he could definitely win ROY…if not him, then it will definitely be flagg since we know he’s getting minutes.
Coop was also playing with team USA. Not saying he played out of his mind with them or anything, but being a kid doing that and honestly doing better than most expected says a lot about his potential to me. But that’s just my opinion.
The biggest thing people need to think about is what would they look like in a transition offence in the nba. Running up and down, jacking up 3’a getting dunks etc That’s why edgecome will go high no matter what.
More like a taller Jalen Brunson, I don’t see him possessing the playmaking/defensive potential that Cade has, but he’s a phenomenal scorer and still young so that can change
In my opinion cooper is another AK47 which is a player I loved by the way his age is what makes him a top pick. Dillon is proving he has ability to carry but he might be more of a 2 in the league because scoring is his best skill. Him lamelo and Miller my gosh that would be elite
AK47 averaged 11.8ppg, 5.5rpg and 2.5 assist guy in his career. There is absolutely, positively, no way Cooper will be under 20ppg by his second year. He'll also easily average about 8 rebounds per game. AK ran the floor well, was a decent catch and shoot guy, and played hard, but had no wiggle at all to his game could not jump well off two feet. He also was not a gifted passer. In short, their games are not similar....except for the fact that both are tall, white and play good defense.
I said the same thing about ak47. Cooper doesn't have much wiggle either. If ak47 played in the last 10 years he would have averaged much better numbers. He was a monster. Cooper will be a much better offensive player but I don't think the kirilinko comparison is shade
No GM is gonna take a risk on taking someone over Flagg...you'll be forgiven if Flagg doesn't reach the level of superstardom he's projected to You'll never be forgiven if he does
@@azeemindawala probably half players in the top 60 of the draft are athletic and can shoot. Bailey seems very similar to Jabari Smith. Good player, but definitely shouldn't go top 3
Hot Take: I think Egor Demin is a top 6 pick in this draft regardless of his stock falling or rising. He plays like its Euro League but he's in the College.
I feel like coop is starting to get the paolo banchero treatment an elite point forward who could be the face of a franchise getting doubts because of small holes in his game remember they were saying jabari smith was gonna be the 1st pick and paolo was gonna go 3rd, mark my words coop is a superstar in the making
For sure have to mention Andrej Stojakovic, hes a 6'7 elite playmaker that can shoot the ball really well. To also add on he's the son of an all time great NBA star.
lol that’s insane, Saraf is a decent player but there’s a lot better than him right now (Johnson, Kasparas, etc etc). He should probably go mid 1st at best unless he proves he can actually shoot (he’s like 25% from 3PT)
10:11 while I agree he’s had offensive struggles, but man defensively he had looked phenomenal, and kinda reminds me of a Kawhi case, where he’s gonna come on the league expected not to be great offensively but have a high ceiling defensively but will show people within a couple years in the league that he can be a good offensive player too. But currently, he’s look like the best defensive freshman and possibly best defensive player in college.
I mentioned that Flagg is averaging over 21 points against the big-time teams on Duke's record. It's against the teams that Duke is beating by 30+ plus that he been coasting.
@@alkers372 I was talking about VJ, but I agree coopers stats are getting a bit cucked by the stats he has against bad teams. Against ranked and good teams, he has fairly good stats.
For the Wizards: I’m happy with Flagg or Harper. Wish we could unload Poole, don’t want to see Bub squeezed out of the starting five, which Harper would definitely do. Not as worried about a logjam between Flagg and Bilal, I’ll take all the athletic wings I can get, especially if they’re 6’9” like Flagg. Everyone talking about Ace’s blind spots has me spooked, feels like it’s so common to see these really athletic guys who have some kind of mental roadblock and don’t grow as players. Think I’d rather have Egor. Or maybe Noa Essengue for my French-speaking starting lineup 🥐
Hoping he doesn't go there. They need too much to be competitive. He's not that guy (at least not yet). They really need a scorer who can come into the league as a high level player.
I think some truly great sleepers are guys like Rocco Zickarsky who in my opinion has generational paint defense. Miles Byrd another really great defender who is sort of like a wing guard hybrid who can playmake also. BOOGIE FLAND I think there is very little flaw in his game, he’s a great scorer but defense is the one that stands out to me. His navigation through screens reminds me of a Marcus smart or a Jamal shead truly a pick dodger🙌
I feel like it’s disrespectful saying coop ceiling is a 3rd option but still saying he’s gonna be the best in the class and going #1. Did we forget that he’s been one of the best talked about players in the country when he was in high school? I think we should relax on coop it’s not like he’s been playing terrible and we’ll see what he’s gonna do when March Madness comes around. Let’s go Blue Devils.
He's not a pure scorer. He's an all around guy. He will be best on a team that has a hole at SF or PF and needs a little bit of everything. He could make that team a contender, but on a bad, directionless team? He isn't dominant enough to carry them to success.
@@SDesWriter bro he’s 17, pump the brakes y’all act like the kid is 22 lol. I’m not saying you’re wrong or anyone else for that matter I just find it kinda insane that y’all wanna change up his whole trajectory as a player and say he can’t lead a team with superstar potential when he’s only 17 years old
@@DaKiddYam_573He's 18, and about 3 months younger than Ace and 7 months younger than Dylan. I think what people are saying is he's not even wired to be a first option, not like someone like Dylan is, you can just see the difference in scoring mentality when watching their games, but cooper is what any team needs, a player that does it all, that's not a knock on him
@@DaKiddYam_573 I'm just saying I agree with Gil when he said that. I don't want to change his trajectory, you can look at his numbers and see that he can't lead an NBA team right now. He's scoring 17ppg in college....he's not going to walk into the NBA and put up 25 (and his percentages are bad). The points is that he has really well developed skills and if he insists on coming out in the draft after 1 year in college, he will hopefully be picked by a team that needs THOSE SPECIFIC SKILLS. If they need something he can't do yet, then he's going to get all the pressure in the world for being a "disappointment". But if he goes somewhere that needs some scoring along with rebounding, assists, steals, blocks and defense, then he's going to immediately help the team in a big way. I'm saying he should be allowed to be who he is, not get drafted by someone who wants Jordan or Luka.
@@DaKiddYam_573 It's pretty crazy how people here are relegating Cooper to the scrap heap. He's averaging 21 points, 9 rebounds a game against the teams on Duke's record capable of beating them. In the other games, he wasn't the focus of the offense because Duke was up by 30 quickly. His stats in those games have dragged his numbers way down. He's great as a 17 year old finding his footing in D1 basketball. He'll be about the same as the youngest player in the NBA. He made the age deadline by 10 days. It will take him time, but his shot will start to fall again. He shot 39% from the 3 point line against the toughest high school competition in the country last year.
Wolf doesn’t really play like Jokic at all besides being a good passer, I would compare him much more to former Michigan alum Franz Wagner on offense. Except like NBA Franz more so, which is pretty damn impressive!
He tested draft waters last year was getting some late second round bids hopefully the decision to come back was a good one. He needed to put on a little muscle.
Watch the Chicago Bulls try to Draft Kasparas Jakucionis and pair him with Matas Buzelis. To make a Lithuanian one to two punch. The Bulls EVP of Basketball Operations Arturas Karnisovas is Lithuanian and it wouldn’t surprise me if he tries to do this.
Dylan won’t get Wooden Award votes unless Rutgers turns it around. Also, Cooper is still the best freshman because of his all around game. If you look at Wooden odds, it’s Broome, Cooper and Kam Jones as the Top 3
Jaland Lowe at Pitt. Lowkey better than Bub Carrington also as a freshman on the same team last year at various times during the season (Bub better overall and size obviously) and is a dog this year already. Should be considered for a late 1st to sure 2nd if he declares imo
How do you feel about harper alongside cade in detroit . I could see him going there and handling some of the distributing and letting cade focus more on scoring and get closer to a 30 ppg guy . Idk cade me be 26 27 7 an 10 by the end of the year anyway . I think ace or cooper would be a great fit with cade
I actually think Harper is more fitted to turn into an elite scorer than Cade is since he’s more athletic. Harper’s shown a better ability to get to the rim and finish. Cade is a better playmaker though.
Flagg won't fall that far - I don't think the Spurs are going to be a lottery team this year. Besides, the Spurs need a floor spacer, as always, and a big center to bang with other bigs around the rim.
I couldn’t agree more we’re in desperate need of a good Center. I’d love for the Spurs to draft Big Z from Kentucky. Big Z is a 7’2 Center that could play good defense around the rim while also being able to space the floor with a really good 3 point shot. He’d be a great fit for the Spurs. Not sure if you’re familiar with him but this is a quick highlight video of him. th-cam.com/video/OaWnJKPV0OU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uwArnaF2TVFxOtWb
Yea honestly very disappointed in his minutes he definitely should play more clearly they should play through him RJ needs to move around. I like him but unfortunately he's a second round draft pick hes 5'10. And please if RJ looks of a wide open Powell again I might lose it😂😂😂
Depends on if you value 20ppg over 15ppg/10/4/2/1.5. It's all about the team that picks them. A stupid GM picking someone who doesn't fit is going to ruin a really good player.
You never know anything an happen but it’s not fair to compare flaggs numbers to a Harper or Bailey.. those dudes have no other option but score a ton for their team to even have a chance.. if Flagg was on Rutgers without those 2 his numbers would be insane lol he just doesn’t have to do anything in games against bad teams. He’s super unselfish
Ive commented about this before, it seems like half your vids are just reading out per games stats, those stats need to be in context to something, if youre trying to make a point bring up a certain stat dont just read numbers at the camera it's boring and really bad "analysis"
@@Sros1Did not expect you to actually read my comment, love your dedication matt I've been watching for years and it's great to see you consistently work hard 💪🏻
@ he’s only worth a pick and salary filler right now. Just wait he’s still young. And because he is young there is still time to wait for his value to go up then trade. Also, when he plays this team is a good playoff team. He has a MVP ceiling. You don’t trade that for 1 pick and salary filler. Especially when he is this young.
@@kingsamthefirst5053 Zion Williamson is a depreciating, disgruntled asset who's production has dropped since his second season in the NBA. Trading him to a different situation would be in the mutual benefit for both Zion and the Pelicans organization.
All this hype on Cooper Flagg ( not that i don't think he is good ) But people been talking about how he going to be a massive stud. Can someone name me an American white guy who has been all nba in the past decade and further more throughout history? Journalist talk about stats all the time so let's discuss the odds of him being all NBA.

He might make a big difference on their team. They have some good pieces already.
coop can be a primary forward.
Dylan won’t get Wooden Award votes unless Rutgers turns it around. Also, Cooper is still the best freshman because of his all around game. If you look at Wooden odds, it’s Broome, Cooper and Kam Jones as the Top 3

I couldn’t agree more we’re in desperate need of a good Center. I’d love for the Spurs to draft Big Z from Kentucky. Big Z is a 7’2 Center that could play good defense around the rim while also being able to space the floor with a really good 3 point shot. He’d be a great fit for the Spurs. Not sure if you’re familiar with him but this is a quick highlight video of him.

@@Tain950I can see the spurs taking stanfords center maxime raynaud
@@goodhair420 Ain’t that Wemby’s friend?
@@Mandozen yeah it is that’s what I’ve heard atleast
Jaland lowe please
What do you think bout Andrew Carr from Kentucky
Cooper wizard 🤞🏽
This draft is isn’t as strong as what everyone think it’s going to be. I think 2026 draft will be much better.
Jamir Watkins and Malique Ewin are second round studs
i‘m praying for the spurs to somehow get the third pick.
would love to see ace bailey with victors playmaking
I would either get Tre Johnson and Deron queen and trade for Keegan Murray
What’s this beat in the vid, it’s heat lowkey lol
If Ian Jackson gets the playing time he’ll be lottery fs
Yea honestly very disappointed in his minutes he definitely should play more clearly they should play through him RJ needs to move around. I like him but unfortunately he's a second round draft pick hes 5'10. And please if RJ looks of a wide open Powell again I might lose it😂😂😂
Egor demin.
Man yu cant go wrong with Ace hes a baby KD
How many steps did the dude take😂
2:10
Jeremiah fears is a SLEEPER
ben saraf????
Here's my take
1. Jakuciones
2. Demin
3. Harper
4. Flagg
5. Quintance
6. Newel
7. Johnson
8. Fears
9. Flann
10. Bailey
Call me crazy, but I think Cooper Flagg’s floor is Jayson Tatum.
You are sleeping on ban Saraf 😴😴
La vérité c’est que Cooper Flagg n’est pas le joueur générationel annoncé...et que la draft 2025 n’est pas la cuvée exceptionnelle annoncée !
jermiah fears will be the best of this draft
He won’t lol
Relax
He's nasty Russell Westbrook with a jumper. But this draft has potential to be a 96 or 2003 type draft.
Who😂
Who
Hot take:
Alex Sarr will leave Washington and re-enter the draft, going at #1 to the Boston Celtics and helping them win their first ring
What
Bro huh?
AI slop
Ace Bailey should definitely stay another year in college, he needs to put on weight.
Bold take Ace Bailey will be the best player in the class
Depends on if you value 20ppg over 15ppg/10/4/2/1.5. It's all about the team that picks them. A stupid GM picking someone who doesn't fit is going to ruin a really good player.
@@SDesWriter completely agree but I just think he will develop at a higher rate
Before 1 minute gang
Dylan Harper is the #1 pick
The Grizzlies are fine with the 24 draft
You never know anything an happen but it’s not fair to compare flaggs numbers to a Harper or Bailey.. those dudes have no other option but score a ton for their team to even have a chance.. if Flagg was on Rutgers without those 2 his numbers would be insane lol he just doesn’t have to do anything in games against bad teams. He’s super unselfish
has hugo gonzalez fallen off as a prospect?
Ive commented about this before, it seems like half your vids are just reading out per games stats, those stats need to be in context to something, if youre trying to make a point bring up a certain stat dont just read numbers at the camera it's boring and really bad "analysis"
Thanks for the constructive criticism!
@@Sros1Did not expect you to actually read my comment, love your dedication matt I've been watching for years and it's great to see you consistently work hard 💪🏻
Cooper Flagg will be a better Jayson Tatum. Not a superstar or generational player, but a solid #2 on a championship team
Better than Tatum but not a superstar? Did you think about that statement before writing it? Tatum not a superstar?
please send dylan harper to new orleans
Give us flagg so we can trade zion
@ no, we are keeping Zion.
@@kingsamthefirst5053 why he’s not that guy super injury prone he’s holding us back
@ he’s only worth a pick and salary filler right now. Just wait he’s still young. And because he is young there is still time to wait for his value to go up then trade. Also, when he plays this team is a good playoff team. He has a MVP ceiling. You don’t trade that for 1 pick and salary filler. Especially when he is this young.
@@kingsamthefirst5053 Zion Williamson is a depreciating, disgruntled asset who's production has dropped since his second season in the NBA. Trading him to a different situation would be in the mutual benefit for both Zion and the Pelicans organization.
Man i hope tge raptors can get dylan harper no matter what im gonna be a dylan harper fan
Kai sotto 7'3
How can u talk abt next years draft and not acknowledge Malauch
Good content. Keep it up!
Want to gain some Russki fans?
Itsd Yeah - gor D -yo - min , not Egor Demin ;)
Please look up how to pronounce jakucionis 🙏🙏🙏
Kennesaw State beat Rutgers.
All this hype on Cooper Flagg ( not that i don't think he is good ) But people been talking about how he going to be a massive stud. Can someone name me an American white guy who has been all nba in the past decade and further more throughout history? Journalist talk about stats all the time so let's discuss the odds of him being all NBA.
