LETS GET FLIGHT 55 BACK. ❤
I don't believe that there is a comp for Coop!
He’s light years ahead of where I thought he’d be.
His left handed finishes is a dominant shot.
Coop is Coop. 1 of 1.
I gotta rethink life, I can’t stand these 2 and this might have been one of the best and most calm episode of a Mavs podcast I ever watched (being extra but seriously).. Good Episode (don’t get used to that Issac and Bobby
Please take AD outta the intro…I get PTSD. 😂
Great pod, fantastic people
Better than Luka? I think so…Luka plays no defense. Flagg the best teenage player in NBA History outside of LeBron.
Mavs Don't want you back loser
Isaac, you may or may not be biased, but either way you’re right. I have him top 30 and improving weekly. If I have the seventh pick or worse in my next fantasy draft, I’ll take him in the first round assuming the year continues like it’s going.
I’m hoping for atleast a top 6
the 1-1 comparison for me is ben simmons with an actual offensive game. what cooper is doing his rookie year, people were hoping for from ben simmons when he reaches his potential.
Peterson is too much of a risk. Even Self called him out for the health issues. AJ will go Number 1 or 2. He is my favorite player in this Draft. If we pick at 5 or 6 and get Wagler or Mikel Brown Jr. am Fine with the pick. Flemmings could turn out to be an even better player than Peterson because more durable. If we get a shot at 30 for Anderson Jr. or Steinbach, I would draft both of them in a heartbeat 💓.
Bruh has looked like a spitting image of Kawhi Prime before he went terminator in Toronto. He’s not doing the numbers of Kawhi Prime, buts he looks like a baby version. Especially over the last 2-2.5 months. The Giannis comp is too low. Year 3 Giannis didn’t look as good as coop rn
cooper is so rare of a player that you cant compare him to anybody completely.
10:34 here is my take on is coop too 20. Coop is top 50 in every stat and last i checked, number 25 in points was at 21.something , that was when coop was avg 19. I said THEN coop could jump into the top 20 for scoring. Add in how elite he is on defense in has to move somewhere between 20-30. Many of those players scoring 21 didn’t do anything else in the stat sheet. I’m taking coop over majority of the league TWO MONTHS AGO. Today there’s no question for me
11:32 bruh yall gotta stop with this 1st half narrative for coop. Coop had a shaky 20 games, IF THAT. 20/80 is nowhere near half 😅
IMHO (in my honest opinion) I think copper can and will likely become a better player than Luka if he stays healthy can continues what he’s doing. His offensive bad is 90% of Luka’s offensive game and 100 times the defensive player Luka is.
What the Mavs have been missing all season is guard play. Forget bigs.. guard play is huge.
I’m glad we had Nico. We wouldn’t have Flagg if Luka was never traded. They would have made the playoffs and would have never been in the lottery to get the chance at cooper. Also Kyrie likely wouldn’t have went down as he wouldn’t have been playing that many minutes.
pre-kalshi giannis was a problem
I'm actually a fan of the Porzingis idea. At the right salary (ex. an MLE). We know he's going to miss a lot of time as will Lively, but he can be 4 or 5. He should fit next to Flagg a lot better than next to Luka.
Isaac is the host??? always a great episode when he is the host.
I like these solo isaac pods tbh
