Why Cooper Flagg will change the NBA | Slam N Jam

You know, when we did this right around this time last year, I don't think anybody could have guessed that future first-round pick Dylan Jones would make an absolute mockery of basketball playing as a permanent sub. Permanent sub. This is an even position on the court. What are we doing?

Why Cooper Flagg will change the NBA | Slam N Jam

Yeah. I have Cooper out of all of them except Wendy. Wow. The level to which Cooper has been able to problem solve basketball this season at Duke as an 18 year old. It's almost like when you watch his first five minutes, six minutes of a game or whatever, you can see all of the information flowing into the supercomputer that is his brain.

And then right around that point in the game is where you start to see him just go, okay, like to quote the lethal shooter guy, I understand it now. You know what I mean? Like he just gets it from that point forward and he understands, okay, this is how I have to attack this guy. This is now the matchup that I'm looking for.

Why Cooper Flagg will change the NBA | Slam N Jam

This is what they're doing in terms of help defense and how I can attack it. The processing ability that he showcases is incredibly, incredibly high level. He's improved a ton as a shooter this year. That was the biggest concern coming into this season was what he would look like as a shooter from distance, from mid-range.

whether or not he's dealing with better athletes on a night to night basis, you know, as he was in the NIBC playing at Montverde versus playing in the ACC up for debate. The ACC is not very good this year, but they're certainly better players at the very least. Uh, people I think will point to like some of his performances in high level games.
