He's 6 for 13 from 2 but only 2 for 7 from deep....28% Pritchard is shooting 37.5% from deep Ant has 18 pts ..Pritchard has 19
Flagg's game is so weird, like 75% "Old Man at YMCA" and 25% "Old Man at YMCA's stories about how good he used to be"
Not saying he's not impressive, but that doesn't look super fast. 2 pre-season games don't mean much, and I'm sure if he was a Blazer I'd be fine with that production, but it seems kind of average. Granted, like I said, it's just 2 pre-season games.
None of those highlights would be very impressive if a 4-year vet had done them. If he's going to be Cooper Flagg™ then he needs to get better. Also Hansen's behind the back move was way more coordinated and confident.
Wait? Did you look at the dunk? His head was at the rim. I don't see slow, I see smooth and effortless. That kid is going to be special. Pisses me off we are going to watch the Spurs and Mavs both with generational talents for years.
Don't be pissed: Wemby will retire early with heart problems and Flagg will underwhelm for a decade before winning his first title as a 7th man.
I'm not wishing anything, I'm predicting. Wemby is still growing and that's a bad sign for his circulatory system. San Antonio will have to be careful and honest with both him and themselves. As for Flagg, those moves were decent, but pedestrian in the wider NBA. I think he's going to be in for a shock, and I don't know if a "guaranteed #1 pick" has the chip on his shoulder to improve that much.
I'm not sure about Flagg. He was really good in his one year at Duke, and played really well in March Madness. Against MM competition he averaged 21pts-8reb-5ast while shooting 50% on three's. That's a pretty impressive resume. But I'd imagine there have been other players who stood out in the tournament who never sniffed a slot in an NBA rotation. I think Flagg's floor is solid rotation; ceiling is all-NBA. as for Wemby, if indeed he is still growing at nearly 22 when he was 7'3 at 19, that's an ominous sign. He's already missed half a season because of DVT and a blood clot. DVT is a very serious condition and it can be chronic in very tall people sure seems to be describing the life of an NBA player
As good as he was on the court, he is THAT bad on the mic. You’d think they’d learn. Magic was ATROCIOUS as well.
Bro, I watched all his college games….. what caught my eye and impressed me the most was his vision. On both ends. You can tell his IQ is off the charts.
