Cooper Flagg Highlights Thread

[F Gump]

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.

I'll take that bet. 

To me this video is an EXTREME exaggeration of the negative, examining every possession to cherry-pick the details for anything less than perfection (as if any player can play perfect iso defense on every possession against good offensive players). We'll see, but I bet we will be more than happy with Flagg's chops on defense as a Mav.
