He just played against the Olympic team as part of the select team. He was put on the practice team to push the nba all star Olympic team in practice, as a 17 year old who hasn’t played so much as one college games. And from all accounts of the scouts, coaches, and players who attended these workouts. He dominated and stole the show. He was the talk of the Olympic basketball team camp. This kid is for real.

[@bayodaman]

lol he didn't dominate anything. made some nice plays but didn't "dominate". Also they always put a high schooler on the USA team not a big deal. I'm not sold on the hype yet he's not some freak athlete. Looks like a dollar store brand of Jayson Tatum.

I played against Lenny Cooke in a hs summer league and expected him to have a ridiculous amount of success. Never would've expected what actually happened to him. He was hitting threes from 5 feet beyond the arc, windmilling and 360 dunking in game. And then nothing. Sometimes a boatload of talent only goes so far if an athlete can't get their sh*t together off court. I hope Cooper keeps his ego in check, good people in his circle and stays humble

It remains to be seen whether or not he can play in the professional leagues, plenty of people who were generational talents in college ball didn't dominate at the same level in the NBA. Christian Laettner was the one college player on the Dream Team and he was an All-Star just once with no championships, which is good, but its not necessarily what you'd expect if college success translated to professional success.
