I agree with all this, as a general concept, and I respect your longevity as a basketball fan. The perspective you've accumulated as a longtime observer has benefited me (and the rest of this board, I assume) many times. 

Having said that, in Flagg's case, I think it's pretty obvious that he's going to be way better than Wiggins. I think he's MORE able to "go get his" already, right now as an 18 year old, than I expected. He's a better passer than I expected, a better ball handler than I expected and even a better 1-on-1 defender than I expected, despite all the hype. I'm not worried about his future at all.

Killer...I totally hope Cooper is not just better than Wiggins, but that he becomes a generational player. I'm just trying to keep the hype train down because to me it's very unfair, especially when someone is not a natural scorer.  I'm just saying if he becomes a more aggressive Wiggins (note that is not saying Wiggins as we know him is the benchmark, because Wiggins as we know him and a more aggressive version of Wiggins are different players), I'll be extremely happy.  Of course, my wish is for him to become much much more.
