2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[SleepingHero]

However compare Flagg to Luka is not a great idea...

I wasn't trying to make the comparison of Flagg v. Luka, but more so Flagg v. NBA execs, and Luka v. NBA execs, trying to draw parallels.

Flagg v. Luka is an unfair conversation. I was all in on Luka from day 1, but he still even exceeded my wildest expectations of him. I mean, who could've thought he'd make 5 1st All-NBA teams in his first 6 years along with as many all-star appearances. Plus they are just different players, with different games, and different expectations. 

Luka's feat has only ever happened 3 other times with it being Bird, Duncan, and Gervin too!

So no, I can't compare Flagg to that because it'd be unfair. That bar is unreasonably high. And I urge everyone to not do that.

Despite that, I am still so high on Flagg. I truly think he could be a big difference maker and become that level of player eventually. IF he could become that right out the gate like Luka, then the Mavs are the luckiest franchise to ever exist.
