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.

And then this really, really nice body control. And then the defense is good. Like that's one thing with this top five is. there are some ace probably has the most defensive questions, maybe Casper as well. But as we mentioned with Cooper defense is going to be a calling card for him.

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

I don't know that it's a calling card for Dylan Harper, but I think Dylan Harper is very good on the defensive end as well. So just kind of your on ball crew, primary creator, good size, really good size, right? Like he's not like six foot or something like that. Defends really like how much do you believe in the jumper with Dylan Harper? I think is what it's going to come down to with teams. Yeah.

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

It's funny. Here's what makes me feel better about doing NBA draft. I've got to know scouts from different teams over the last couple of years. And like, I'll talk to a scout about a player and one will be like, oh, he's a lottery pick. And then the other one will be like, he's, you know, he's a second rounder for me. And I'm like, oh, okay.

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

Well, this makes me feel better that, you know, sometimes my guys are in different spots than other guys. I've had scouts be like, we had a whole sample size to evaluate a shooting. We're not, I think at the combine, it's, I think maybe you can evaluate confidence mechanics, some stuff like that, but we're going to get, well, let me pull up as totals here. You know, we have 103 point attempts.

We have 130 free throw attempts from Dylan Harper to really evaluate. What is the jumper? I will mention he's 74% from the line. I've had plenty of people tell me in the actual like NBA and media realm of NBA draft that that free throw percentage is a, not a better, but a very good indicator indicator, right? Yeah. You know, just in terms of touch and those types of things.

So I don't know how much a great shooting combine performance does for Dylan Harper. Cause I just think at this point you can go back through high school and the film and you have so many numbers with synergy now and all of that to, to get, to, OK, well, he had one maybe workouts, right?

Maybe private workouts is where teams feel better because they they put them through their own shooting workouts. And I have heard some of those like they put a lot of weight into because it's moving and they wear them down and those type of things.
