2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[david75090]

So do I have to correct you a second time, Sir? I never said a small forward ONLY - I said he has prototypical size and skills for a perfect small forward, especially on a team that wants to win with defense, athleticism and size (and traded a top 3 player for 50 cents on the dollar for that reason).

In no way, shape or form did I say he can’t become a great power forward or even small ball center or maybe a big shooting guard or point forward or whatever. 

So let‘s just look at a matchup with Oklahoma, who will be the team to beat in the next years - would you prefer him matching up with Chet Holmgren or Jalen Williams? 

I‘d prefer AD dominating Holmgren physically and Cooper neutralizing Williams.

Those things happen. Earlier in the thread I made a similar remark about CF playing PF, but didn't say PF, only. Then someone mentioned they didn't get the bit about CF being a PF and PF, only, which you agreed with, that I didn't say. So, I agree that CF has positional versatility and will start out playing PF/SF and ONLY neither, even if you say "prototypical".
