@rileyricharrds: "Cooper Flagg just doing it all right now.

He’s only got 5 points.

But the defense is incredible both on ball and in the passing lanes. The playmaking (5 assists) has been good. The rebounding is excellent. I see no reason he won’t average 8+ rebounds in the league."

@VTDukefan: "I knew Cooper Flagg's skill set was off the charts but he's way, way better than I thought. He does so many important things on the floor that don't show up on the stat sheet that impacts the game. Truly amazing to watch."
