Analyst Compares Cooper Flagg To 3 NBA Players

The NBA is now just months away from the official arrival of Cooper Flagg.

The Duke basketball star is most certainly this year’s No. 1 draft pick and people are starting to get very excited.

They have every reason to be, according to Seth Greenberg, who appeared on “Get Up” Friday morning.

During his interview, Greenberg revealed which NBA stars Flagg reminds him of.

“I think [Jayson] Tatum, I think Grant Hill and I think Scottie Pippen,” Greenberg said.

Greenberg said this because he claims Flagg is the sort of young player that an offense can run through.

On top of that, his defensive game is strong and he can guard multiple players.

Finally, he has a radically high basketball IQ even though he is only 18 years old.

So, the team that drafts Flagg will get a young star who is capable on both ends of the court and is already very smart during games and only getting smarter.

There is a reason why so many people feel he is the next big thing in basketball.

There’s no doubt he will be the top pick in the draft but we don’t know where Flagg will play.

Several teams are going to be in the running for the top pick.

Wherever he goes, he will instantly become a must-see star who will get a lot of attention.

Will he live up to the hype or fall short of expectations?

Right now, he is dominating for Duke and has looked great all season long.

He will bring a youthful energy and drive to compete that will definitely help the NBA team that signs him.

If Flagg ends up being like these three comparisons, he will be one of the greatest No. 1 picks in years.
