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

Almost seven free throw attempts over four assists. I was looking at the synergy numbers. I don't always go to the numbers, but like catch and shoot, he's at 39%, whether it's guarded or unguarded on dribble threes. He's at, excuse me, those numbers. Yeah. Right at 40% dribble jumpers. He's eight of 20. So he's doing a little bit off the bounce. It's just like, A lot of those offensive questions.

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

And here's the thing that's exciting offensively. I've seen him run the ball screen as a handler. I've seen him run it as a screener. He can pop. He can roll. He can go play in the dunker. He can stand in the corner, knock down a three. He's a great cutter. And here's the last thing. He plays really hard. And he, like, for a star, a superstar, he'll dive on the floor.

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

Okay. So like I said at the top, I think I want to be clear. He should be the pick for all of these teams, right? A hundred percent. Right. Just because Toronto has BI and Scotty Barnes and RJ Barry. I don't think if they get the number one pick, they should be like, you know what? We're actually going to take right. Right. Right.

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

You know, so-and-so they should, but because of that roster, I'm like, okay, Toronto don't love it as much. I'm not saying the Wizards shouldn't take him because they have Alex Saar, but I think that'd be interesting fit. But I'm like, okay, that, that would be, I think where he really slots in are actually places that have four men.

But I think it's like, Hey, you move on from those guys and let Cooper flag be the guy. So it's either the Pelicans. And it's like, you know, how funny would that be? Kind of like, it would be very funny. You move on from Zion, the most recent big time Duke guy for Cooper Flagman. Like, okay, let him and Trey Murphy and Misi and whoever else, let those guys build out this thing.

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

Or in Charlotte, I think him and Brandon Miller complement each other very, very well. That would be very fun. forward combination. I would have said Mark Williams two weeks ago, but I don't know what that means for him anymore. Um, and then obviously you have LaMelo ball there as well. So I think those are the two teams for me that it's like, I would go ahead and move on from miles bridges.
