Cooper Flagg draws direct measurable comparison to a Wisconsin basketball great

  • Cooper Flagg, projected No. 1 pick in the upcoming NBA draft, has similar combine measurables to former Wisconsin Badger Sam Dekker.
  • Despite the physical similarities, Flagg is considered a generational prospect, while Dekker was the No. 18 pick in 2015.
  • Dekker played five NBA seasons before moving to European leagues, while Flagg is expected to be the top pick for the Dallas Mavericks.

Not all NBA draft comparisons are created equal.
