As someone who doesn't follow college basketball I feel like every other year I hear this is a generational or somehow abnormally strong draft.

[@PickpocketJones]

I think it's because you don't follow it because that hasn't been the case at all. 2021 was the last one considered a strong draft, last year was considered all time weak. 2022 wasn't considered strong per se, it just had an all time prospect in Wemby. 2020 was considered weak, 2019 was a stong top 3 but weak overall, 2018 wasn't considered particularly strong, etc.

[@alexjames4770]

Literally last year was described as an awful draft lol.

Ace isn't a "combo guard wing", he's not remotely a guard. Everyone considers Tatum a top 10 player. So many questionable statements in this video.

It’s pretty simple. If a team really needs a guard they draft Dylan Harper. Otherwise they draft cooper.

@ and most people were saying Zion Williamson was the next LeBron and Andrew Wiggins was the next Kobe. He’s got his own style of play honestly. I think he has a higher ceiling than Tatum tho that I can see. But he doesn’t remind of Tatum.

[@Baylorbetterthanbrown]

I've been a live long Celtics fan trade Tatum for Cooper flagg

[@chrislewis5069]

I can't remember the last time we said, "he's turned into a super star becaue of his wing span" you still have to be a good basketball player regardless of wing span

[@obi3924]

Obviously, but wingspan is still very much an important measurement in basketball. Giannis’s wingspan is an important aspect of how he does what he does on both ends of the floor.

[@Identify_As_Right]

Demin is going to be a beast when hes 24-25. Once his body matures he will get anywhere he wants

[@Big_Grunt]

It’s more concerning that Rutgers has supposedly two of the top 3 players and have lost 4 of the last 7 games. If those guys were truly the best, their team would be performing much better.

[@JaeSproo]

3:21 time stamp *STOP LYING!!!* Cooper is in his "own tier" compared to Harper, Jr. and Ace Bailey??? Bailey > Cooper - NUMBERS. Cooper 15.9 pts as the no. 1 option. Bailey 17.5 pts as the CLEAR no. 2 option. And Harper > Cooper - EYE TEST. Cooper had "6 points" the other night. Duke *laughably* has him listed as a Guard! His perimeter skills suck. He turns the ball over when he tries to create. He is not FLUID with shot creation. And his jumper is a project at best. What he is is a great athlete who can "flash and clap" for the ball to finish with dunks then block shots on the other end. Sounds like a 6'9" White Gerald Wallace to me. A "4" trying to convice us he's a "2". Stop. Harper is 6'6" and averaging 23 ppg while yawning.

[@SDesWriter]

Yawning because he's Playing against shit competition.....Fucking Rutgers.....like we're supposed to take that seriously.

[@Lemonpepperwett]

I think Cooper is a power forward and people are trying to say he's a guard or wing. He's a skilled power forward like Blake Griffin in Detroit

[@Lemonpepperwett]

I think Cooper is most dangerous in secondary actions. Pick roll, dump him the ball and he's got space going to the rim some team is going to be super disappointed trying to put him in a LeBron type role

[@ColorBlindJalen]

[@surisuri1002]

I liked the Tatum comparison early on...big do it all point wing that can privide whatever you need, I always said I feel like you"re getting a less Offensively polished better rim protecting more explosive Tatum. Then I realized that exact player is Scottie Barnes and/or Pippen so now I'm going with that.😂

People forget he skipped a year in high school so he's going to go into the draft at 18. That's a year of skill development he won't get before the draft. Smart coaches will worry about that more than the things fans notice.

Last couple of games ace has gotten to the rim very comfortably

[@YodaSmokes]

Don’t sleep on Jeremiah Fears. He could end up being the hidden gem of the draft

[@TSnippo]

In person I saw Rutgers (Cam Johnson was there cause his bro plays “Puff”) Dylan has the D’Angelo Russell problem when he tries to make every single shot looks smooth He’s either gonna be SGA or Dlo Bailey has the muscle mass of a 16 year kid. Some people in the LA fitness are more in bigger than ace right now. He’s gonna go to the rim eventually and put on weight but he’s getting bullied by college players right now They’re trying to get into his head and they’re trying to muscle him out the way I think Ace gonna develop it’s gonna be interesting to see how it all plays out

[@StarTraffic-z1o]

Dylan Harper finishes at the rim, while Dlo avoids going to the basket. Harper draws a lots of fouls like Harden, because he plays physical basketball like 80s & 90s players. I like Tre Johnson and Derik Queen.

[@TSnippo]

@ I think he’s gonna be good not Dlo I just saw the same try to be fancy shit u feel

[@briangibbon3381]

Playing well as a youngster doesn't mean you will be an nba star. My best example of this is Oj Mayo. He outplayed jordan in a scrimmage at 13. But as an nba player, he was very average.

[@23E623]

People doesnt have a problem to evaluate real impact, talent but people have a problem with blind hating. You can put any stats proving them wrong but they gonna hate just because its "cool" and Tatum is the perfect example

Sorry wrong. Brandon Miller’s command and presence throughout every moment of Alabama games is nothing like the wandering focus we’re seeing from Ace. Bailey’s got more ‘potential’ tools than Tim Taylor but much like others before him in the unlimited tools tree (Emoni bates, Brandon Boston) that didn’t show what they needed to in college.. proceed with caution.

Flagg plays with a ball dominant, shoot-first point guard who is trying to raise his own stock, on a team that's built for multiple options outside of Flagg. Rutgers was a nothing team when the other two decided to team up, so they pretty much shape it. Look at how Flagg played against the best the NBA had to offer in the scrimmage. That should answer every question you have.
