coop is supposed to be c/o 25 but he’s he classed up and is still no.1 and I’ve watched ace play live hes a star but he’s takes breaks defensively and takes bad shots thats why i got coop at 1

[@allanwatts8361]

bro your channel is going to explode with subs...I know it, I've seen this talent before with people going from 1k subs to 500k in due time....the branding, style of delivery, pace, editing etc is on point and caters to a huge demographic. Stay consistent producing content and youtube will push you more in the algos to be seen by a broad audience.

[@HouseOfHandlesTraining]

I needed this bro! I got you

[@thepratter]

I don't even watch/care about basketball, but the way you make your videos had me hooked all the way through. Well done man, very informative!

[@HouseOfHandlesTraining]

Bro this means so much!! Thank you

[@Graincamel]

I would say coop was the best player up until last summer. He went the position-less route and now he’s a number 2 option. I can see a Franz Wagner role maybe a taller Mikal Bridges, Jeremy Grant but definitely not a number one option. Ace is the best scorer in HS basketball. Jason Tatum or PG type of game but hopefully with a killer mentality. I can see either of them going no.1 I like aces game more but coop probably translates easier to the NBA

[@cameronbolden5064]

Cooper is on the best team in the nation and is the best player on that team. Cooper Flagg is also younger

[@jakewillis1124]

Ace Bailey birth date is around the end of Aug. 2024 he will be 18 years old. Cooper Flagg Dec 21st 2024 will turn 18yrs old as well.

[@_SayitAintSo]

august 13th@@jakewillis1124

[@gym_bob]

I'll go with Cooper Flagg. He is a prolific passer and is defense is on another level. He does all the things necessary for winning...He has it all and will continue to get better.

[@dredemetri6738]

He’s always been better, from day 1, just not noticed

[@prettyboytyandersonlll9806]

Facts

[@evo8150]

In my opinion that’s just not true especially when you look at the type of competition there playing

[@flyingdawsonyoutube]

@@evo8150ace Bailey is way better then cooper

[@also3254]

Just came across your page and dig it. Only critique is the music volume on the video. THe breakdown of both players was spot on. Been watching both for a few years and the feeling I have is that Ace will be a better pro. Cooper is certainly getting so much pub and with his going to Duke, that will add to it.

[@nathanharris5197]

I think you are absolutely correct in your assessment at this point in time. A LOT depends on how HUNGRY Cooper is when NBA time comes. College will hone his skills greatly and give him the basic tools for the NBA. However, Hunger in his belly to start or even get game playing time will depend on if he rises to the occasion to play with and against the best of the best of the best in the world or will he get in his own way in his head and Wilt like a wall flower? Thousands before him did exactly that. Wilted. Were sent to G-League to get their Shirt😜 together to come back up and just never did. Of course I want ALL these young men to succeed but the reality is there. It can't be ignored. Personally, I think the kid should immediately be mentored by White Chocolate and run with him and his pickup team over summers and school breaks. He doesn't need anymore basketball summer camps, college ball will take care of his skills, but Jason Williams can definitely put this kid in the right mindset & reality of college and early start to NBA days😎👍🏾🏀

[@ForeverMizzy]

I think development is key for both. Flagg will be a better IQ player all round (playmaker) (lebron,magic) Bailey will be a better scorer/bucket getter (kd, Tracy)

[@TheBsheep]

Keep it up fam....great and pro level breakdown...your channel is about to blow up!!

[@HouseOfHandlesTraining]

Bro THANK YOU!!

[@chuckbarkley2182]

put ace on a team like montverde full of other five stars and you'll see he's not #1. i dont think he'd know what to do on a team like that where there's not one star, where they play team basketball. it would be a wake up call for sure.

[@HouseOfHandlesTraining]

I see where you’re coming from

[@alwayscompete9142]

Great content! Love your passion and don’t disagree with your take. Both these kids are nba talent. There are a lot of factors that make certain teams a better fit for players. As a blazer fan I am leaning towards Cooper but would be ok with Ace. Keep up the good work!

[@cameronbolden5064]

Im sorry this is a bad take. Cooper doesn’t need to do that on his current team hs playing a role like Cade Rj Simmons Joel and all the Montevere guys have done before. Cooper in he eybl had multiple 30 pts games as had a eybl scoring record with 52 and 7 blocks when his team needed him to score.

[@HouseOfHandlesTraining]

All good no need to be sorry bro

[@razatiger22]

He was also playing against a bunch of 16 year old kids. He should have been playing against kids his age.

[@user-vl7di3xr2u]

By rating Ace Bailey above Cooper Flagg, you've highlighted all that is wrong with the current NBA, and the current basketball fan. This obsession with hero ball, and scoring. Basketball should be a team game, played at both ends of the court, and Cooper's all round game is far superior to that of Bailey; but all anybody cares about nowadays is highlight reel buckets. The game is gone.

[@acbmoto7514]

Both great. Either one could go #1. It’ll be up to their 1 & done college seasons

[@alkers372]

After Flagg's sophomore year, there was only a moderate amount of excitement about him. He was not a focal point of the Monteverde offense, and only averaged 9 points a game. He played within the system and let older players get a good deal of the spotlight. Then in his first game of the off-season, he broke the national EYBL scoring record by putting up 52 points. He continued to dominate the entire summer as the focal point of the Maine offense becoming the consensus #1 player in the country. After skipping his junior year and reclassifying as a senior, he's back playing with 4 fellow 5-star players in the starting unit at Monteverde. He's putting up very good stats, but is sharing the spotlight on the #1 team in the country without a hint of jealousy. I think Cooper needs to tighten up his handle and the mechanics of his jump shot could use some improving. However, I also think that if Cooper and Bailey would switch teams, Coopers stats, like they were this summer, would be far higher, while Ace's stats would be considerably lower.

[@hanaf1231]

And simply Cooper plays defense on a nother level. Ace plays defense like a lot of offensively minded stars, at least from what I've seen. Cooper I've seen live a number of times so I may be biased, but his defense was all-NBA level.

[@757beyblader]

Great hot take Great quality video But I still disagree I can say you earned a sub tho😂

[@joshuabile4657]

do more draft videos plss escpecially on khaman malauch. What is the percentage for ace and/or flagg become superstars?

[@HouseOfHandlesTraining]

For sure bro I got you!! Hard to say %. I think Bailey is more likely, but I bet Flagg is an all star level player

[@mehonda5050]

He dominated Peach Jam with Team Maine. Please tell me how many super stars on that team.

[@razatiger22]

He was also playing in the U16 circuit when he should have been in the U17 circuit.

[@vnicevalentino5331]

Been sayin this since December. Ace is on an entire different level!

[@thomaswilson7538]

* I do think, after reading this 2024 sport's history of Ace Bailey, the word "overrated" may soon come to pass? ;) Jacob Wilkins, a four-star wing committed to Georgia, posted 12 points and a dozen rebounds for Grayson, according to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. He led the charge on the glass, as Grayson outrebounded McEachern 47-27. As important as the rebounding was 6-foot-2 guard Anthony Alston’s defense on Bailey, a 6-foot-8 wing committed to Rutgers. Bailey scored 14 in the first half before Alston told Grayson head coach Geoffrey Pierce to let him go one-on-one for defense instead of zone, according to the AJC. “Alston was the defensive player in our region this year for a reason,” Pierce said to the outlet. “He’s one of the best defenders I’ve ever coached. He came to me at halftime and said, ‘Don’t go zone anymore. I’ve got him.’ So, hats off to him for that.” Thanks to Alston’s physical defense, Bailey scored only four points in the second half.

[@Lamar_Soloz]

I agree 💯 hope my grizz get ace🤞and can you make a vid on GG Jackson ||

[@EnijaiRoundtree]

Coop betta he’s a 2 way player way better defense to that’s were I give the edge

[@AtlantaSportsReels]

Seen Ace play in GA for the last 3 years. Also had the opportunity to see Cooper play 3-4 games on the EYBL circuit. Ace is better. It’s not even close. Footwork. Perimeter shooting. Speed. Motor. Handle. And defense. The main credit that Cooper receives is his defense but I have seen Ace lockdown on all three levels. Ace was the best in the country last year as a junior

[@HouseOfHandlesTraining]

Couldn’t agree more. It’s not close at all. Ace is POLISHED. Cooper has work to do if he wants to be a franchise carrier

[@5stariley]

I don’t think that you can put ace over coop because realistically no matter how good he is there is not anyone currently in hs outside of aj Dybantsa who is skilled enough offensively to become the number one option immediately in the nba. So we will have to see how ace performs in a systems where he is not the number 1 option. Ace is playing for decent mceachern where he can take whatever shot he wants and he is going to play for a rutger team where he will be the number 1 option from day one. Coop has shown us this year and last year he is able to still have a relative impact while not being the number one option on his team. Also cooper is the better defender . Ace is very talented and I don’t know if this is a hot take, but I personally don’t even have him over Dylan Harper who is a big guard who has shown that he can facilitate and lead his team to compete with some of the best in the nation at the city of palms classicz

[@HouseOfHandlesTraining]

No no this whole take is totally reasonable. Parts of me agree and definitely see where you’re coming from

[@5stariley]

@@HouseOfHandlesTraining yea. I think that in this class ace is a close second as the best player when everybody is hot. The only reasons he’s second is because when tre Johnson gets hot he might be the best scorer in hs since emoni bates

[@bakothegreat6986]

At rutger he’ll be playing with dylan harper which imo they the top 2 players so ig you’ll see how he’ll play with other top talent there bc they both the first options there equally

[@AtlantaSportsReels]

Ace does everything better. He has been the best on the floor in every game he played in as well as showcase. He won MVP over Cooper at the Curry camp and on the 16u circuit for EYBL Cooper wasn’t the best 16 year old. Cam Boozer was.

[@5stariley]

cooper was definitely the best 16 this summer. You could argue he had the greatest hs summer ever. Made it to 16u championship eybl and lost to a team he had beaten before that had more depth. He won the nbpa camp mvp. Also in no way shape or form has ace always been the best player on the court. When Mceachern played Harvard westlake he was the 3rd best player on the court. Ace isn’t a better defender that cooper and he isn’t a better passer than cooper. Also ace still hasn’t shown that he can play off ball while cooper has shown that.

[@elijahfranklin6799]

Ace was on a whole other level at my school as a freshmen he's always been a dawg i've seen him play in person

[@lqnumber1]

All I know is I’m happy someone said it 🤞🏾 shoutout to my Alma mater for grabbing up some 5 stars finally

[@danielmcbride2390]

Bro said Zion has scoring issues yet he averages 22 ppg in 30 minutes shooting 58%

[@HouseOfHandlesTraining]

Can he get to the basket in the regular season and get offensive rebounds? Sure. Can he get down hill in transition? Sure. All that stuff isn’t near as relevant in playoff basketball especially when you’re THE GUY. Which is what we are talking about here. Brandon Ingram takes the last shot for them fam😭😭😭

[@emmanueldufresne]

giannis dont even take the last shot.. simple , you can be an elite scorer if you a big without shooting and still be a franchise player..

[@pdxgolfpro]

Think they are pretty similar in upside for their offensive capabilities from what I've seen. Flagg seems to have more defensive upside. He's had several games where he had a triple double with blocks I believe. I don't know though, I think any team that gets either of them will be happy.

[@hanaf1231]

Saw him three times on Montverde when he was a 15 year old sophomore against top teams (one game they lost to a Philly team). Cooper was the best defender on the court every quarter of every game, which is why I think he'll have a better career.

[@orangesilver4568]

I agree college and pro teams will be happy to have Bailey or Flagg. Interesting Cooper's twin brother Ace Flagg is getting attention for D1 colleges due to his rapid improvement.

[@danhuang6674]

I also think Ace will be more like a franchise player. If I got #1 pick I will choose Ace.

[@_mgslim]

Coop is more versatile and nba ready right now but Ace is the future he reminds me of Paul George Rudy Gay

[@mikecushing7276]

You convinced me completely

[@user-hv6pf1jo6y]

thank you for the breakdown but i was just wandering who you think should be an all star

[@thurmanavent4640]

This guy Ace Baily is the real deal I thought I would never see another magic Johnson type player handling the basketball like Magic at 6 9 like Ace Baily is that dude and to top it off in my wildest dreams I never thought I would see another player like the late great Len Bias and for the first time in my life I see Len Bias again I never have compared anyone To Magic Johnson but Ace is that guy I will compare too him and to top it off he moves and glide through the air with ease and power like the late great Len Bias this is truly unbelievable 2 legends he reminds me of this guy Ace Baily is the best young player I have ever seen he reminds me of a young Micheal Jordan in college with the fear factor other player have for him and t his desire to win to be honest from what I have seen of him he is more exciting to watch than most all the player in the NBA he's high flying exciting handle the ball like magic moves and dunks with grace and power explosive off the floor and can shoot lights out there is no comparison

if you out them together i think ace would be jordan to flags pippen. i think they both will be superstars. they will be opps for there whole career. lebron vs melo wemby vs chet ace vs cooper type of thing.

Isaac Okoro went to Mceachren also

[@noahmccormick525]

Yeah cooper has to learn to play at different speeds. He takes some bad shots because he is going hard all the time. If he can slow it down at the right times and get smooth , hes gonna start hitting more shots.

[@Banjies888]

I’m a huge Rutgers MBB fan and have been on Ace since he committed. I obviously agree he’s a better prospect than Cooper. I do think it’s close however since Cooper is a year younger already has a bigger frame than Ace.

[@frankdamico5533]

Copper carried his Maine team all by himself

[@treycasper4247]

where your wrong is saying coop is a glorified role player. He definintly takes the back seat to his teamates sometimes and his coach has him playing more of abig, but when he played eybl against great vcomp like the boozer twins in 16u, which is how old he is so he should have been there, i know in your video you where wondering about that, but he played with his age group. people like dybantsta are actully older than him playing in younger grades so it makes it seem more than it is. when coop played aau he was the man. He did everything even though he messed up and took bad shots sometimes. hes also the best devensive player in high school and probably college as well. Ace plays soft on defense and stands strait up. Coop is also bigger and more phyiscall. They can both get ot the rim though coops more advanced in the post, and ace can shoot it a little better. time will tell who ends up best.

[@loymeetsworld]

Cooper's game is better suited for winning basketball. He's unselfish and a team player. Ace is a better shooter but that's about it. The NBA is going the way of the point center and point forward and away from one-on-one scoring.

[@carlschiller5646]

The logical fallacies in this are INSANE🤣

[@rks6878]

Are stupid of course he has to play a role he is playing with top ten players in the country if ace played at montverde it would be the same in

VJ EDGECOMBE No. 6 overall rank H.S player is the best player in High School, He is the next great one. Anthony Edwards is his NBA comparison, but I think he is ahead of Antman. Some compare him to Jalen Green. That is setting the bar too low for me.

Hmm, ACE is older by how many months? Flagg will definitely need 20 to 30 lbs. more muscle, but he will not be 18 years old till, get this, one week before the year 2025. Maybe he should stay at Duke for 2 years?

[@bradd2400]

Hold uppp, Rutgers got 2/3 top players in the country!?! WTF is really going on !!?

[@rfmmike6096]

5:30 this point makes zero sense, Zion's issues have literally all been due to weight issues not "scoring issues", he's had a better scoring output than several guys you went on to list, Zion was giving you an incredibly efficient 27 in year 2 and was getting all nba shouts. the fear factor perspective you went on to talk about also makes no sense it was basically "these nba busts weren't good in the NBA so they weren't feared but these guys are good players so they are feared". I can see Ace being the better prospect but some very iffy talking points in this vid no disrespect.

[@jxddeenn]

coop betta

[@youngreezy7510]

ace doesnt have any motor in defense, he has a bad stance he bets at the Time to steal and sometimes he forgets his man in defense,sure we could argue about offense but ccoper was doing all his numbers in eybl while lockin niggas in the perimeter and blocking shots
