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

Another, for those who don't know, Casper is a primary initiator, not quite as big, very unique type of player. Yeah. Yeah.

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

Yeah, but orchestrates the offense, has all the live dribble, hook pass, both hands. But I do have some questions about the turnovers in terms of reading the floor at time, getting himself into trouble, those type of things. The shooting, again, it's funny. In a world where people are complaining about too much three-point shooting, if you... Follow NBA draft covers.

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

There seems to be a lot of questions about guys knocking down shots at a high rate. He's at 34% on the season, but had some big games as well. Another guy that I think the defense is okay. I thought the pre-college defense was better than what I've seen in the season. And then the other guy, your guy, VJ Edgecombe, defense is not the concern. With VJ. VJ is going to guard.

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

They love to guard. He really loves to do it. You turn on a game and you're going to see highlight level verticality contests, chase down blocks. We talked about low man rotations. VJ does that. He's engaged on the ball. There's a chance for him to be a real impact on the defensive end. I'm a little concerned offensively. Okay. Now he has been better.

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

So you talk about like improvement throughout the year. Yeah. Like that is something that is true with him. The shooting was bad, bad earlier in the year. But it's come around recently. Very much come around. He's up to 37% on the season in conference play. And again, I don't want to overstate this, but I do think it matters.

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

He's at 17 points on 48, 42 from three and 88 from the free throw line. Um, I think he's a guy that people would like to see him do a little bit more with the ball in his hands, right? Like some of that stuff. But the fact he's knocking down shots along with the defensive potential and all of that has definitely put him back.

Yeah, I mean, I think if he showed some more on-ball stuff, some creation, whatever, I could see a team falling in love with Vijay over Ace and or Dylan. Like, I think... Right now, I would have Dylan 2, Ace 3, Kasperis 4, Vijay 5. But if you told me by the time we got to the draft that Vijay ends up the number two pick with the right team, I wouldn't be shocked. It wouldn't be crazy to me.
