Cooper Flagg was the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft because he can do everything on a basketball court, and do it all pretty dang well. Playmaking was a huge part of Flagg's allure; he averaged 4.2 assists per game in college, which was No. 8 in the ACC, along with leading the league in scoring as a freshman. "Generational" was never an overstatement.
His vision and willingness to facilitate (especially from the wing or forward position) is such a plus skill to have. Strangely, Flagg's assist numbers have gone up since he moved from point guard to his natural forward position.
