Cooper Flagg is only 16 years old but people are already saying he’s the projected number 1 pick in the NBA draft. We have seen this kind of hype before but is this time legit?

The thing that makes Players like Boozer, Flagg and Dybantsa special is their Feel for the Game, IQ and Versatility. Even if their shots not falling they still affect the game with their effort on both ends

@@will-zj5gq Agreed. Plus you never hear fundamentals spoken about anymore with young prospects. I watched some clips of that big white kid and wow his footwork is not good. He's only 16 so it can obviously improve but people need to stop with the "high basketball IQ" crap. All through this comment section I see mentions of basketball IQ. The media came up with that nonsense and people regurgitate it over and over. IQ is a person's reasoning, basically common sense. Players are getting praised for understanding basketball and common sense? 😂

I was lucky enough to see Cooper Flagg play in a Maine tournament in against my stepson a couple years ago, during Covid when they played summer league at the park I grew up balling in, and the entire 4 acre park was packed, you couldn't get anywhere near the court, and he was in 8th grade at the time. It will be great to have an NBA prospect from the state of Maine finally, as the last one was in the 60s or 70s... Although, Back when I was 16 and playing ball, we had another top high school prospect, TJ Couette, who was playing out of his mind dropping 50 a game, and played very similar to Cooper. In summer league, I could just throw it over my head anywhere near the basket and TJ would grab it and dunk it. Then he went to Villanova where he averaged 2 mins a game and was never heard from again. Hopefully Cooper has a much better runway to the NBA.

Embiid got a better coach and things will be different in Philadelphia. The differences between European and US players are; US players are divas, they think they’re as smart as GMs and they know how to evaluate talent, they rather play with their friends and pals, 1 championship is enough for their legacy, meaning they don’t need to compete anymore, because they got theirs. If we go strictly on US vs European Jokic > Karl Anthony Town Giannis > Davis Embiid > Zion Luka = Ja, Trae, Haliburton, Mitchell and Tatum This won’t look the same by 2026. Giannis plays a lot, less than 300 games away from 1000 games played. Embiid is always hurt, Jokic plays a lot and he’s no athletic god by any standard.

The biggest reason why Emoni Bates likely failed is his dad was his hs coach and he didn’t develop any from sophomore year to senior year. The warning signs were there when he played in aau tournaments his senior year and coaches had defenders sag off him. He coasted off his athleticism instead of trying to develop a consistent jump shot. That’s why wing players can be so hard to predict in the nba. It is so easy for them to dominate in high school or college without being able to shoot but then in the nba they get exposed.

He already had his future planned and it did not include 🏀. Now, as a fifteen year old Rashad McCants was playing on this seventeen year old AAU team. Rashad was a man/child at fifteen with a natural instinct to put the ball and anyone that was in his way in the basket at the same time. There was a tournament in Louisville, KY that required every Nike team nationwide to be there. Everybody that was anybody was at that tournament. They gave no individual awards to players but if they had, Rashad would certainly have been in the top three running for MVP while playing up two full years. There were also brief glimpses of the Rashad that eventually became very visible at UNC, then the train wreck that was his NBA career. It's just tough predicting the adult that a fifteen-year old will become.👌

Thank you. Hype is nice so we can watch the subsequent “Whatever happened to……” a few years later.

I would not call Jabari Parker a bust. To me, if your career is shortened or altered by injury, and that is why you don't fulfill your potential, you are not a bust. That is out of a player's control. A bust is when they just simply don't perform and live up to the expectations

That's not the generally accepted definition. The likes of Sam Bowie, Greg Oden, Michael Olowokandi are considered all time busts due to injury.

Bust is a bust if you can’t take care of yourself it’s your problem.

Also he's a pretty distant teammate during his rehab so he never builds any chemistry with his teammates.

The greatest irony on a video like this is the fact that A.M. Hoops claims that the only "legit star" (highlighted in green) ranked top 3 out of HS in the last 10 years is Anthony Edwards - a guy who hasn't made an all star game, all-nba team or achieved anything of note (yet). He then suggests that the two latest drafts "were decent" despite the fact that they haven't played long enough to make an evaluation. In fact, the most accomplished player on that list - by a wide margin..... Is Ben Simmons - 3 time all star, 3 time all-nba. And of course, Andrew Wiggins, Brandon Ingram, Michael Porter Jr and Julius Randal are all very good players in their own right.

You say that Cooper lost in the finals but disregard he's on Maine United. Boozer literally has other rated players on his team. The fact one player carried them that far speaks volumes.

Issue with Emoni’s game in high school was he was one dimensional. What makes AJ, Boozer, and Cooper really good compared to Emoni is their impact to the game other than scoring
