@JeriTsaiNets: "What's crazy about Cooper Flagg is people forgot the same hype if not more when it came to Ben Simmons college highlights.

Athleticism gets you in the NBA skill development is what keeps you in it."

Brian Rauf: "19 points, 10 rebounds & five assists from Cooper Flagg in a dominant 76-47 win for Duke. Blue Devils closed the game on an 18-0 run.

2nd half from Flagg: 14 pts, 7 rebs, 5 asts. One of the best individual halves of basketball I've seen this season"
