Any college basketball prospect, even one as talented as Maine native and presumptive No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg, is bound to have their share of skeptics.
Count former Celtics defensive stopper Tony Allen among those who is not buying the hype around Flagg.
The Duke star could be a “nice” piece for an NBA team, Allen said during a recent podcast appearance on Grind City Media, but he isn’t sold on Flagg’s potential as an NBA superstar.
“I don’t think Cooper Flagg is going to turn your franchise around like that, and I’m serious,” Allen said.
