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

I'd go ahead and move on from Zion Williamson. I'd let Cooper flag come in. Um, Utah would be interesting, but those are the teams that stick out for me, I guess, are those two.

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

It's funny you say that we'll get a chance to watch these guys in the tournament because two of these guys will not be in the tournament, most likely, which makes it very, very interesting. I find myself go. I did this last year with who was Colorado. Colorado had Cody Williams, Tristan Da Silva and KJ Simpson. And throughout the year, they struggled at times.

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

And I'm like, can all three of these guys be first round picks if their team isn't? And so my point is Rutgers is like right around 500 right now. and may have the two best players in the draft after Cooper flag. So I will give you my four names in the next tier and then we can go wherever you would like.

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

Correct. Yes. So these guys would be Cooper is the first pick for all 30 teams. Yeah. Whoever gets number two between, I would draft one of these four guys, no matter what, but I would factor in like, oh, we have this roster. We need a ball handler. This guy makes more sense or we really need, you know, whatever. So Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper at Rutgers. Okay. Casper's Yaka Jonas at Illinois.

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

Okay. And then Vijay Edgecombe has moved back into this tier, the wing at Baylor, guard wing, whatever you want to call him, at Baylor. So those are the four guys that I have in this next tier. These are the other four guys I'm pretty excited about.

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

Yeah, so Harper is like your on-ball primary creator type of player. He shot the ball better so far this season than what I thought he was going to. Now, if you look at the numbers, you're like 33% from three. I wasn't expecting a lot. Now, I will say this. He is one where the conference numbers have dropped a little bit. He's down to 30% from three. So it's one of those, I think,

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

At the end of the year, you go back and evaluate. It was like, did he just have a hot shooting stretch? You know, is there because there were questions around the jumper. He has a nasty, nasty in and out hesitation dribble. He he has a strong body. He's not super explosive as but he gets to the rim. He gets to the paint using this kind of creative but practical handle.
