We're talking five times though. That's at least six times. Almost. I would be, I would be fascinated to see if he said like, Hey, You know, Shire, I'll stay, but you got to match what my rookie year money is in NIL. I think you're right.
It's a great question. We'll talk about some of the other guys as we go throughout. I think coming into the year, I actually had ace Bailey in a similar tier with Cooper and, Because I think ACE is a like NBA prototypical idea of a wing, right? Like what you're looking for. We'll talk about ACE later.

As it turned out, to start the year, when Cooper was struggling a little bit offensively, and that's where the questions were, it was actually Dylan Harper who was hooping at Rutgers, Ace Bailey's teammate. And I think there was a point there where Cooper never left number one on my board, but it was actually Dylan that May was in the same tier as him.

And for me, tier means, okay, if me and you are in the same tier S and a team is drafting... I would understand if they took me over you, if my skillset made more sense than your skillset made. Right now, Cooper Flagg should be the number one pick for all 30 teams in the NBA. There's no question in my mind. He's in his own tier on my board, number one pick, and it doesn't matter who's picking.

Yeah, so I still want to start with the defense and the impact he can make on that end of the floor. I think Cooper Flagg is, if you want to assign a position, to me, he's like a natural four that can play some three, right? He has some versatility there. I don't know that he's like your all NBA level point of attack defender. I don't know that he's that, but...

But he has this big time athleticism, off ball rotator, low man. Like we always talk about those low man rotation rim protection guys, right? I think that is Cooper. I've watched him do it in high school. For those that don't know, he played at that awesome Montverde team last season that had
