Harper has

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Harper has

Yah true.

But a point guard that doesn't shoot 3s well and isn't a freak athlete is a tough sell as a #1 pick.

Ifni have to bet on someone learning to shoot, I'll prob bet on the 6'9 guy.

 

[nick.]

what if Flagg is 'just' Jalen Johnson?

 

[finessence]

Ya’ll saying Flagg is Marvin Williams 2.0?

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I feel like that's a floor.
and that's a pretty high floor for a prospect.

Folks seem to get disappointed if freshmen aren’t averaging like 25-30 a game. And then you realize it’s basically only been done by KD and Mike Beasley

Thing is Harper is a freak athlete though. Body control, pace, horizontal leaping ability., core strength. And he’s 6’6”.

I’d go Flagg 1 still but harper is legit very good

TRAE YOUNG

 

[B Sox]

TRAE YOUNG

Yup him too. Most of these guys aren’t getting up 20 shots a night though. Especially if you go to a blue blood type school that has other guys trying to get theirs.

Since we’re naming a bunch of Duke guys, Flagg’s numbers are right there with Paolo too

 

[nick.]

I feel like that's a floor.
and that's a pretty high floor for a prospect.

If his floor is a 20/10/5/1/1 season on 50/36/75 while still on his rookie contract, he's one of the best prospects in recent years

I wonder how many guys Jalen jumps in a 21' redraft

Trade Lebron while he has value and can get you some good assets. This his pick for coach. He ran out Darvin Ham. He got his son picked and he’s trash.

Lakers simply will never be a defensive team with Lebron. He doesn’t play defense, he flops and cries the entire game. And that gets old fast for teammates. You can see AD is just no longer locked in.

You can point to stats but it’s just meh padding at this point. It’s not translating to wins.

WHOA, while I agree with you. Definitely saying stuff going against the grain on NT. I get the feeling most of NT still consider Bron top 5 in the league.

The aura is definitely fading for Coop


But that's what happens when you choose a **** school like Duke

What school would you recommend, Duke is easily the safe choice. You know a large part of your games are going to be televised, you can hide most weaknesses in your game in the system.

Those expecting that have ridiculous expectations.

That’s a strong 23.

These “generational” prospects would need a player like Flagg on the team to actually accomplish anything

He’s #1 and you don’t lose any sleep over it. Numbers are basically the same as Tatum paolo and most other guys on his tier.

And his people didn’t hold him back in high school an extra 1-2 years. 17 year old freshman like you’re supposed to be

What more do you want

 

[HIM]

"JJ Reddit" is incredible

 

[frshstunna]

Who are the 2 you like more? Assuming Harper is one of them.

Harper the best player in the draft …I like Ace or Fland up next

Wildcard is Edgecombe, but like I said it’s no problem taking Flagg #1, I just don’t think he’s the best prospect

Can I give a cross racial comparison? Cooper Flagg can be Ka-white Leonard.

Lakers either get a meh “farewell” tour with lebron to sell some jerseys and socks or trade him and get some assets to build around AD who has shown he can be top 5.

His Laker legacy is meh. Like someone said they have only won 50 games once in his 7 years. That’s insane.

Reminds me a lot of Candace Parker

You are not suppose to be 17 as a freshman. Your suppose to be 18 and will turn 19 at some point that year unless you have a summer bday then your 18 the whole year.
