You can’t be generational unless you project as great on both ends of the floor or your offensive game is so absurdly polished that it’s undeniable.. LeBron,Luka,Wemby,KD,those are generational players.. Cooper is a great defensively,good offensively..Which makes him a great prospect overall and a guy you can plop on any team and as a #2 he’s gonna be making winning plays over and over ..but he isn’t that main guy .

We just watched a game where his squad only scored one bucket in over 10 minutes..If you generational that shyt ain’t happening

Put Tugler on Texas KD,Cuse-Melo …hell Beasley at K-State and Tugler is getting cooked .. if Coop had that offensive game to go along with that defense then yeah id give it up …but he falls short

Now he is young so that’s the caveat and the hope is he can develop that..but that’s hard as hell to do

He looks like an upgraded Pippen to me with a mix of Kawhi. Like you, I don't know if he's gonna be a #1 option. It isn't inconceivable, but it's gonna be a work in progress.

I'm positive he's at least gonna be a dynamite #2 though. If he was paired with Anthony Edwards or a miraculously healthy Zion, it'd be a terrifying combo.

I feel that if the NBA was willing to work out with the NCAA, they should set a rule that if a player doesn't decide to forego college or play overseas and come in as a higher schooler, they should stay at least two years. To help with their development and build the college game in return. The lack of development for our American players has been a big talking point lately, and I think that is tied to the fall of the college game. Having this two-year rule will help it out IMO.

Like it would be awesome to see Flagg returning to duke with the vengeance while working on his game with the Boozer twins.

Proctor, Sion, and Gillis put on a choking clinic.

The most senior guys on the team showed why they were hesitant to hop to the next level.

Hate that loose ball foul at the line to let HOU take the lead with some cheap FT’s, but that’s not where the game was lost.

Shyt stings. Ah well.

Center self, inner self
I’m not gonna shyt on Scheyer per se, but he got out coached in those losses. The two early ones where they drew up like these dusty face ups for Flagg when everyone already knew he didn’t trust his handle at that time. That shyt was garbo

I don’t know if we know how elite a situational coach he is. He’s definitely good overall, but that specific niche still remains to be seen
Last year he let DJ Burns own the team for an entire half and did nothing. He has shown twice with the better team that he can't adjust to situations.
