Leger has been following and evaluating Flagg for a LONG time, and thinks he will be HUGE right away. He won't be as good on day 1 as he will become, as he learns the NBA and its nuances, but he's going to be REALLY good. In general he thinks Flaggs shot will need to get better, but he sees his defense as ready and potentially great.
Is there anyone on this forum that thinks otherwise? We all agree Flagg will contribute to winning as a rookie.
The point of contention on the forum is whether Cooper Flagg should be playing guard next to a front court of Lively/AD/PJ. That discussion begins at the 3minute mark of the video. Legler says that if AD is obsessed with playing the 4, then Cooper Flagg can be your starting 3. Legler says as the starting 3, Flagg needs to improve his range and his ability to get his own shot. They don't even discuss Flagg playing the 2.
At the 13:20 minute mark, Legler talks about the Mavs needing a "ballhandling, scoring type."
