@ismokehiphop: "facts he played badly on defensive during this game and gave up 34 points alone with weak defense. Cooper been got exposed before he even went to college when Dylan Harper beat him during the all star game"

@DiamanteAyo: "Good player, but don’t see the “generational” tag people give him… i get Paolo was like 2 years older than cooper coming out of college, but he was way more polished on offense coming out of duke and better playmaker as well"
