NBA Draft Check In | Cooper Flagg's best fit?

And so I think that's where the question marks come in with him. I think people are, are dropping him too low. I think not having him in the top five would be tough for me because he is this six, eight, six, nine wing that we've seen have huge games, like huge scoring outputs and can really put the ball in the basket along with some of the other shooter too.

I should have said that at the top, very much an off ball player for me.

NBA Draft Check In | Cooper Flagg's best fit?

I think he'll benefit in terms of the off-ball player, in terms of that space where somebody breaks down the defense and now he's getting good looks and all of those type of things. My biggest worry is, though, I don't know if he has the handle to take advantage of the space on the ball. And that's where I think I've come down just a little bit.

NBA Draft Check In | Cooper Flagg's best fit?

I thought Ace May would beβ€”and he still could be, right? like hub of your offense, like the primary option. He can do it with the ball in his hands. He can do it without the ball in his hands. All of those things. I'm not saying you can't run zoom action for him or something like that.

NBA Draft Check In | Cooper Flagg's best fit?

I'm just not sure he has the wiggle and the tightness in his handle to like break you down in isolation and get something better than a mid range pull up over a two different types of players. Now, Can he tighten his handle? We've seen players do it. I'm not like, that's the crap shoot with all of this.

NBA Draft Check In | Cooper Flagg's best fit?

It's just not as far along as what I thought, but he makes NBA level shots when you watch him play. And again, he's a six, eight, six, nine wing who has real two way potential that can make shots. That's had big games that rebounds. Is this not what every single NBA team is looking for? Right? Like wings like that. You're always taking a chance when you draft somebody.

I think taking a chance on that archetype that has been productive makes a lot of sense.
