Why Cooper Flagg will change the NBA | Slam N Jam

next one one of my favorite guys in the draft vj edgecombe and jalen green uh not close yeah yeah vj is yeah like jalen green's more of a like on ball player vj is you know like struggles with his left hand right now not really like a creator at the moment Um, athletically I get the comp, you know, I think Jalen might even be a little bit bigger than VJ is. We'll see what VJ measures that.

But, you know, VJ is an unbelievable defender, like for the guard position and for his size. Like he, he is awesome on that end. He, uh, really flies around. He's very active with his hands. He's aggressive. Like, you know, Jalen has never really shown an inclination to do that consistently throughout his career. So that one, that one doesn't really work for me at all.

The shooting is probably somewhat similar, I guess, in terms of where they are. Yeah, I mean, I understand what you're going for there. I can pick up what you're putting down because Jaeger is like 100% the best defender, or not best defender, best passer in this class. Some of the looks he finds are incredible and very Josh-like.

in terms of being able to, you know, live dribble, throw the ball from like underneath a defender's arm out to like the cross wing. And you're just like, what just happened? Like how, how did that just work? But yeah, you know, the ability to get to the rim consistently.

I actually think that Josh is a little bit ahead of Jaeger in terms of like getting paint touches and frankly, like his pacing and ball screens a little bit too. Josh is really sharp in the way that he uses his pacing, even though he's not a great athlete. There are, there are teams out there that still love Jaeger though. I can definitely assure you of that. And it's not impossible.
