I really like how Coach Scheyer is projecting Flagg‘s scoring ability in the Ryen Russillo Podcast. Will be fascinating how he will be able to evolve his game month by month and season by season in the coming years!
“His offensive skillset, and I got to see it every day in practice, was more advanced than I expected it to be, but also I thought it grew tremendously throughout the course of the season. When you look at his numbers, I think they can still wow you with what he did this past year.
Keep in mind, we had over 20 games we won by 20+ points, he didn’t play the last five, six minutes of a game a lot. And even in the games we’d get a lead and Cooper’s passing it, doing all this. So he’s so unselfish, that’s his nature, he could’ve averaged 20+ points this year.
Going forward, I think he’s going to be just fine because his ability to get to spots and raise over you, which you need to do in different moments of fourth quarters and playoffs and all that. He’s shiftier than you realize, his ability to beat you off the bounce and obviously as an athlete, he’d go finish above the rim. And then the fact that you have to respect his shooting, he shot 45 [percent] from three [in ACC play] as a 17-year-old, 18-year old at that point, freshman.
So, really, to score from three, at the rim, and then the ability to create his own shot with his shiftiness, handle, and just natural instincts. I think he’s going to be one of the best scorers in the NBA in time.”
