Cooper Flagg Highlights Thread

[numnuts23]

I think we are in danger of setting our expectations for Flagg so high that we're on a collision course with disappointment. Here's a pretty detailed breakdown of his defense, including the not often mentioned negatives. He plays defense like a big wing, not a guard...because that's what he is. This guy isn't convinced he'll be a defensive plus as a forward, even.

It's a good video but you can do a breakdown of some of the best defenders off all time and see the same mistakes made.  No one plays perfect sound defense and a skilled offensive player in the NBA really can't be guarded 1 on 1 these days.  

Also, he was also coming off an ankle injury in a lot of these clips....so keep that in mind.
