Cooper Flagg is one of a Kind - 2025 NBA Draft Scouting

[@greatiamidentitywithin]

Great video but i must say another impressive thing about em is that he grew a whole inch within 25 minutes of this video what a freak of nature 😂

[@buildaboysciencegroup3186]

Flagg, Clowney and Claxton ... we might see the first ever shut out game in NBA history

Glad someone else sees the Flagg-Bam connection. Bam with a bag is the vision

since the heat can’t get mitchel i almost want to enter the flagg sweepstakes 😭 but they don’t tank

Amazing video Ben! Been a fan for a while and this one’s the best by far I’ve seen yet Love the Adebayo - Horford defensive archetype.

[@KiraDaBeastNY]

Can't wait to see him play this year. Hopefully the handle comes along quickly.

[@ryanpomeroy5572]

Yeah hes gonna be insane. Guys with that level of feel, athletic ability and production at such a young age dont come around often

[@jeffoldham4350]

Fantastic deep dive and love the comparisons to Adebayo and Tatum. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together!

[@benpfeifer8192]

thank you for watching!

[@Time_Lapse_Master.]

His defense looks exactly like a combination of Jonathan Issac and Evan Mobley. I don't think he's the perimeter defender Tatum or Bam is, but he has the crazy range just like Issac and Mobley. Very big and long at the rim, very versatile and smart defender. His scoring game reminds me alot of Jaylen Brown -- elite athlete, monster finisher with vertical pop, strong body and soft touch, not an elite shooter but can and will make very tough shots, and a loose handle that stops them from being a superstar scorer. His passing reminds me of what Wemby was the last 20 games of the season -- loose handle creates high turnovers on live-ball passing, but isn't afraid to throw it in traffic and has very good vision. It's almost impossible to compare a Wemby/Zion/AD tier of prospect 1:1 to anyone, but that's probably the best I could think of. Super intrigued to see how good he would be when he gets to play both the role of small-ball 5 and a weak-side helper in the league

[@chuckbarkley2182]

great video, he's super impressive and being only 17 i can't to see how much more he'll develop. curious your thoughts on him making the USA select team?

Great video man! Was wondering what your opinion on Hugo Gonzalez’s self creation ability. His rim pressure seems pretty incredible just from watching some film, but I’m not sure about the rest of his perimeter creation ability and his shooting in general. Is he a Franchise-player level prospect in your opinion?

[@benpfeifer8192]

thank you for the words! i will prob do a video on hugo eventually but i agree with you, the shooting i believe in but not sure how elastic/good at handling he is enough for a primary

[@kellenhill9253]

Would be insane to see him go to the spurs. He and Wemby would really complement each other

[@zay4037]

If the spurs get the first pick again him and Wemby might end up being the best duo ever

That's the vision. Lauri Markkenan is a free agent next year. 👀

The key will be to see what he does with players NOT in his age bracket. Over hype usually happens when you only have vid of him dominating a players age bracket or younger.

[@notqt1367]

Honestly, Cooper Flagg is a bit overrated. That’s not to say he’s a bad player-far from it. However, he’s more likely to develop into a solid role player rather than a star. Despite the hype, he hasn’t consistently dominated against other top players at his level. For instance, he opted to play 16u instead of 17u, which raises questions about how he stacks up against tougher competition. Flagg’s strengths are undeniable-he’s a versatile defender with a high basketball IQ, averaging 2.3 blocks and 1.7 steals per game. Offensively, he’s shown flashes of potential, but his scoring hasn’t consistently translated against elite opponents, averaging 14.5 points per game. Additionally, his decision to join a team that masks some of his weaknesses, like his ball-handling under pressure and consistency in creating his own shot, indicates areas where he still needs to grow. While he has the potential to be a valuable contributor, the current hype around him might be setting expectations a bit too high.

[@benpfeifer8192]

cooper flagg was the best player on the u17 fiba usa team as a 15 year old and the best player in the country as a 16 year old, and then he dropped 30 point near quadruple doubles against his own age group

[@benpfeifer8192]

youll see when he gets to duke lol

[@notqt1367]

@@benpfeifer8192 While Cooper Flagg is undeniably talented, it's important to keep the discussion grounded in facts. When he was on the U17 FIBA USA team at 15, it's debatable whether he was the best player. For example, while he contributed significantly, other players like Ron Holland and Cameron Boozer had strong performances and were also key contributors. Flagg averaged 9.3 points, 10 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 2.9 blocks per game, which are solid numbers, but not necessarily the best on the team. Additionally, the fact that he played 16u instead of 17u raises questions about how well he stacks up against the top competition at his level. The jump to 17u would have provided a better gauge of his ability against older, more physically mature players. His choice to stay at 16u, where he could dominate his age group, might indicate that his team or he himself recognized that he wasn’t ready for the next level of competition. Ultimately, while Flagg’s potential is clear, the decision to avoid tougher competition at times does temper some of the hype around him.

Not generational. The last two were LeBron and Wemby. He’s not on that level. He might not even go #1. Not going to lie, he’s a great prospect. Not generational though.
