@sizeupNBA: "Cooper Flagg in a blowout win vs Seattle:
9 PTS
9 REB
7 AST
2-7 FG
0-2 3PM
5/7 FT
3 TO

Absolutely a top 5 pick worthy prospect and a swiss army knife on both ends, but it’s time to pump the brakes on him being the CLEAR number 1."

@Chris44480220: "No one has been saying it and needs to be addressed: Cooper Flagg needs to tighten up on his handles! This isn’t Montverde anymore. He’s almost playing too loose for my liking 😈"

@DukeForumOT: "The thing about Cooper Flagg is that you watch him for a game or two and you can absolutely see why NBA scouts slobber. How many guys with his physical tools have that motor, vision, and fundamentals? He has a basketball brain and you see it every possession"
