YouTube Gold: Cooper Flagg Is Well On His Way To Greatness
Former Duke star Cooper Flagg is now in his second NBA season, and so far, he’s just crushing it. He’s still 19 – he won’t turn 20 until next month – and he’s not playing like a normal young player.
He’s moving closer to an elite level. Flagg is averaging 25.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 2.2 steals, and just under a block per game.
Last year, you’ll remember, he hit 51 points on April 3 against fellow former Dukie Paolo Banchero.
As a rookie, like most rookies, it took him some time to settle into the pace of the game. He appears to have done so now, and the question is: what’s his ceiling?
