Projected No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg was ‘hesitant’ in Duke debut, but ‘he will be destroying people by late November’
Projected No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg was 'hesitant' in Duke debut, coach says
Dook's Flagg 'hesitant' in debut
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
Sounds like normal freshman adjusting to the pace of the game kind of stuff. Hope it takes him a good 9-12 months to adjust.
The Flagg and Duke glazing is gonna be awful this year. ESPN might have to be cancelled.
Kentucky will roll Duke in early Nov and the AP will rise Duke to #1 and drop UK to honorable mention.
Not with ABC paying billions to the SEC. I think all of our minds are going to be blown with the new coverage we get. I was saying in another thread it doesn’t matter as much in football because the SEC is so absurdly dominant it has to be covered extensively but for basketball it’s going to be awesome, especially since ESPN is pretty much responsible for 90% of the basketball content and shows. The SEC is now ABC/ESPNs cash cow - coverage will be through the roof.
This dude is not going to be The Great One lol.
Pooper Flag deez nuts.

I think he will end up pretty good pretty fast. I know a lot will give him crap but I honestly think he’s in that upper tier who will be pretty good in college. I would be happy if he fell flat and did nothing but the odds are not in our favor there.
I think he will be pretty good. However, I do not think he’s transcendent talent.
The whistle he'll inevitably get will make things even worse. He's going to LIVE at the free throw line all season. I bet he's a flopper too.
I'm already getting red-assed at the idea of Oweh and Robinson getting in foul trouble.

Duke strikes me as an institution that owes almost all its success to one coach - there's no way - IMO they will sustain the level of success experienced under that foul mouthed little dude they once had with the sharp facial features and nasally condescending voice
But - hey
They do still have lacrosse right?
Remember when we mocked Zion and called him fat Hami and then they kicked our ass in the Champion's Classic?
Some of you guys never learn.

I forgot about Fat Hami. Laughed pretty good
This was basically a Madness-type event for them. Two 10-minute intra-squad scrimmages. I wouldn’t take anything from it.
In ten days or so we’ll see how he compares to AD blocking 8 shots in his first exhibition game.

He’s going to be a very good or even great player, but the bottom line is true freshman do not lead teams to titles. It just doesn’t happen, no matter how good. That Duke Zion team was insane, but completely fizzled out by March. Countless examples of Cal teams doing this.
This duke team will be no different.

Flagg is going to be really good. If he signed with UK y'all would be declaring him the #1 pick and NPOY already, come on now.
We had the number 1 recruit last year and you see how that turned out. He could be flipping burgers somewhere for all I know. Our recruit from KY kicked all their arses and counting his money as a Lottery Pick in the NBA right now. You never know what translates from High School to College these days. I like CMP and my team. We know we got kids that can produce in College.
Go Cats!!
