    Anthony Davis or Adrian Dantley?

    I don't see much comparison to Davis. Davis is long with his 7'6 inch wingspan. Very difficult to cover both on the inside and on the perimeter.

    Flagg is yet to be officially measured, but he does not look long. He does, however, do other things better than Davis, but I see zero comparison in their game.

    Don't get me wrong, I think Flagg is going to be great, but it's yet to be seen if he will dominate offensively IMO

    I think he will. The thing about Flagg is that he doesn't have any weaknesses in his game that I can see. That's probably why he leads the Duke team in just about every statistical category. That is rare to see on a team that talented.

    So he's like a prime, young, uninjured Brandon Roy.

    We don’t have minutes for Flagg. Sharpe/Tou/Deni is the future. Can Flagg play PG? Then what do we do with Scoot?

    Scoot has improved and shows promise on occasion but he isn't even in the same zip code as Flagg.

    Why would we draft Chris Paul when we already have Sebastian Telfair???? Let's not go down that road again.

    If we luck into Cooper Flagg, then he starts at the 3 and TC comes off the bench for both the 3 and 4. He can get 30 mins a game from both spots.

    Scoot
    Shae
    Flagg
    Deni
    DC

    For the love of god please get the 3 biggest contracts off the team and go young now. I don't have faith in Cronin to do that.

    It's highly unlikely, but it's not impossible.

    Was Tim Duncan a dominant player? I think he'll be the Duncan of SFs... the ultimate connector who makes everyone better on both ends of the court. Like TD he's not the guy you always iso when the game is on the line, but he's a solid option especially if he has a favorable matchup. Portland's two young guards should be solid end of the clock options too.

    So you are saying we don't need a dominant player to be a contender?
    I would agree.

    I don’t understand why we’re talking about Flagg. We’re not getting him.

    Might as well talk about finding minutes for Michael Jordan, it’s just as useful.
