Cooper Flagg is the unanimous #1 ranked player in high school basketball. The hooper nicknamed the "Maine Event" led his 16U Maine United EYBL squad on a legendary Peach Jam run this summer. He followed that up with a perfect 33-0 National Championship winning season at Montverde. The Duke commit put on a show in his final year of high school.

7'4" wingspan at 6'9" with 40" vertical. Forget the color of his skin. The kid is a top-tier athlete with NBA size and athleticism. RARE defensive instincts make him a generational talent...

I saw him play in Maine earlier this year against a top-ranked team in the country, and he made them look like your average small town high school team!
On a court full of division 1 players. He looked like an NBA All-Star in comparison!
The sky is the limit for this kid and I am rooting for him!

You can make a case because of his defensive instincts and the style of play needed to win. He should have an opportunity to earn a spot on this summers Olympic team. He can help right now as a 17 year old. He that good.

So I've heard a lot about this kid, and he looks good and athletic with good defensive instincts. But will he translate to the NBA, he doesn't seem to be much of a shooter, so how much value does a 6'9 wing defender have in the league. He currently looks like a 3&D wing, minus the 3. Not really all that valuable in today's NBA.
I hope I'm proven wrong, but off this mix tape, I'm not sure I see the hype others seem to.

I watched Montverde play this past year. What makes him stand out is he's good at both offense and defense. He can also dunk like it's nothing. Even if he doesn't end up going #1 in next years draft he'll be a good 2 way player for any team. For 6-8, 6-9 however tall he is he's pretty well rounded. He could really play any position.

I never heard of him before these games. The other day I click on the USA team scrimmage ,I was trying figure out who he was, his movements was legit, his shot selection was on point, he was not rushing...truthfully,I thought he was a player for the olympic team that I never saw. He should do two years of college and make his way to the league, he appears to be that good in my opinion .

Bronny is not showing his true potential bc they are tanking for Cooper Flagg.

I'm sure he will get the Calin Clark treatment. The others will be jealous & claim he doesn't belong there.

A lot of kids get all hyped up there is alot of things that can happen in a year. They're comparing him to Larry legend but I don't think he's going number one, maybe a top ten. Also, he is hyped up because he's white there's are a lot of blacks more better than him in college
