How bad do we beat Duke in Nov and who guards Flagg?

Bookmark this post, barring injury, he will 100% be the first pick in the NBA draft next year. He’s as close to can’t miss, as you can get. I’ll eat my whole plate of crow if he’s not, but he will be. Edwards isn’t in the same stratosphere as Flagg.

Nothing is ever 100% been a lot of busts

Dude is awesome and has dominated on every level, in every tournament, against the elite of the elite. Hell they brought the kid to practice against Team USA. I mean…he’s as good as they come, baring injury, he’s likely to be the best player in the country.

Yeah, I expect he will be Zion level good. I cann't think a big will guard him on perimeter. He for sure would eat them alive. That is why I think when in man you have to looks at a physical wing on him. Someone who is fast and strong. Even if they give up some height, they could be disruptiv out top. I just don't know if any of our bigs are quick enough to deal with him on perimeter.

Flagg seems like the exact type of kid that needs 3 years in college to be ready for the nba. People who project his production in 3 years on this year are going to hurt that kid.

Not a chance, he’s gonna be the number one pick fairly easy IMO. He’s gonna have to have a ridiculously bad year to stop that and his performance with the team USA select team shows he can already play with the best players.

I would put Carr on Flagg. I think his length annd reach will give him trouble. I believe we will win this game by 7.

Flagg is too quick for him

No way flag dogs Williams, Williams is a beast

Williams is good, but Flagg is a unique talent, we don’t want Williams chasing him on the perimeter he will get burnt.

How do Flagg’s nuts taste? Serious question.

Flagg is the real deal. He is a matchup nightmare.

I expect that Pope will try lots of different strategies throughout the game trying to contain him.

I don’t know but you can ask the dudes he plays against, I’m sure they can help you out.

Duke -4.5 to 6.5 seems like a fair line.

That's about what I would expect.

He's is the real deal and the espn hype will be beyond ridiculous.😐

Agreed. Makes one think seriously which way to go.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Doesn't sound like we have anyone who can handle him, but that will be a problem for most teams.

I'd almost say focus on stopping the other guys as one guy isn't going to beat you most of the time.

Flagg is really really good. At Duke almost every team they play will get touch fouls called on them when Flagg attacks the basket which is why you have to make him take jump shots. You want to win the game, you dare Duke to take 3's and long 2's. If they make them and you cant hit your shots then its GG, tip your hat and hope for a different outcome in the tournament at the end of the year. But knowing the refs will send that kid to the line constantly duke and he will get more points per possession than if you just let him have open shots.

I think if we can turn the game into a 3pt shooting contest, we'll have the advantage.
