Cooper Flagg Highlights Thread

[KillerLeft]

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.

His agenda in making the video was to push back against the nonstop hype with some realistic analysis. My agenda is a bit different: I'm ok with the mistakes - any kid is going to have stuff to learn when getting drafted, and Flagg's best attributes seem to be his ability to absorb the game and his competitive drive. Those things usually end up in greatness. But, his defensive reputation comes from being low man, where he can play devastating help side defense...just like AD...just like Lively...to a certain extent, just like PJW. 

I really, really don't think you can play three of those guys together on defense, let alone all four.
