When he develops a deep game, then the fun shall begin
He is happy with firing shots after firing Nico
Cooper is that guy
From Luka to Cooper
They'll trade him for some injury-prone 30+ yo within the next 3 years, although that one might have 2 eyebrows.
3:35 is the perfect example of why I don’t watch the NBA anymore. That was not a foul
the defense looked terrible , like not even trying
His jump shot form looks fundamentally sound, like Michael Jordan's fadeaway. But MJ's look much better because he was more athletic, although Cooper has good athleticism.
Coopers numbers are modest, though very good for a Rookie, but the most impressive thing is the 47% FG%. That’s 5% higher than Lebron and Kobe in their Rookie seasons. There are only 6 guards ever to average a higher rookie season field goal %:
Magic, Oscar Robertson, Jordan, DWade, Ray Allen, Clyde Drexler, Michael Jordan.
Given we’re not even 1/3rd into the season, that’s extremely impressive.
The fact he dosent look out of place physically is insane
He has that lengthy, skinny kid sloppiness to his play and needs to clean things up and work on some stuff, but you can tell that he has that “It” factor and god given ability. He’s already a game changer.
imagine him at 27, he will be doing it all
Jason Kidd finally realizing you don’t put a 6’9 18 year old wing who has never started as guard at the PG and expect him to perform to his best capabilities
This is just the beginning for Coop dude is not even 19 yet
i rather watch a WNBA game than any MAVS game
Ladies and gentlemen, Cooper Flagg has arrived.
Congrats to Coop 🎉
wait….did they trade Luka because they wanted to go with a whole different playing style, with Flagg and such? but hold on, imagine Flagg and Luka on the same team.
Dude when his jumper is fully developed he is going to be a problem.
White Jordan
the only one white guy on court… crazy
