Good review but you need to include Creighton's Rick Kalkbrenner. This young man is getting better and better with time. I would place him in my top five for 2025.."Hands down."
It's tough to think of a good comp for Cooper Flagg. I see people say Kirilenko, but he looks like a much better offensive player. I think Kevin McHale, Scottie Pippen, Paskal Siakam, or if more modest, a prime Cliff Robinson or Rasheed Wallace could be decent comps. But maybe Kirilenko with a better offensive game is the best we can do!
@@sugu8403 Didn't mean to reply to you directly. It was more to clav93089's comment. I don't remember a ton about Kirilenko, honestly, but based on the numbers, I'd hope for more for a #1 pick.
@@averiskonsept Kirilenko would have been much much better in today’s game; he was ahead of his time as a player trust me Cooper plays exactly like him just with a better 3 point shot which is encouraging.
Hope Flagg chooses to develop his skills in college and graduate. Because he will do nothing, but get better with his work ethic. But in the end he will do what is best for him. Been along time since I have been excited for college basketball. I will definitely will be following him when he goes to the NBA.
honestly a bad comp to Ace, Ace is just as tall as Cooper is going to be more of scoring option and is way more athletic then cooper soo IDK this will be close
The sad thing is CBS must know who Maluach is... every draft circle does by now. smh... McNeeley is a joke to be considered over Maluach. Maluach I have as a top 6 prospect.
@@norrinradd542 I don't know about his upside. I will make the judgement after I see him this year if he can develop. I don't know how much scheyer can develop players. I'm not saying anything bad about scheyer I'm just giving my opinion based off what I've seen so far. McNeely reminds me of last year's lottery pick Grady Dick but he's a better 3 point shooter. He's going to have to work on his defense. He can definitely get better on defense under Hurley just like Castle did. When Castle came to UConn he was a horrible defender, then by the end he was know for his defense. I hope maluach succeeds because I love to see that
The only major disagreement I have is Liam McNeeley. He's going to be a good college player - but NBA? He's kind of trash compared to where he's being ranked. He's another Baylor Scheierman, but instead of being lucky to be in a lousy draft class for a better draft stock, McNeeley is in a loaded class. He's a fringe prospect if he enters this year. This is projecting pretty far out, but I think he'll be in college getting paid pretty well from NILs for at least a couple years if not a few. A few guys were left off that are probably going to be fantastic...
@@scottwickett1273 I see him as a level-above Ron holland in athleticism. And Holland is really athletic. Baileys a freak. It’s rare you can tag a guy with that term.
@@reedsullivan8755 I think the exact opposite: he makes tough shots because he has to, and the reason he has to is he's not quick/strong/explosive enough to get to the rim.
1. Flagg
2. Harper
3. Bailey
These are my top 3
Nolan Traore is special !! He’s a beast. Cooper and Ace should be 1 and 2 though
Ace too raw
@@Limbaughpok And doesn't guard, and is scrawny, and settles for lots of difficult shots.
Ben Saraf looked much better player than Traore at Euro U18...
@@scottwickett1273 right, he just needs to be consistent at least on the offensive end
@@scottwickett1273Ace is a great shot blocker and has great speed guarding, he just needs more experience and he can be a very impactful defender
“G” word used every 2-3 years
He fit well in the warriors!
Cooper Flagg going to be 1 of the greatest of all time he something special
Stop it

If Cooper Flagg goes to the Wizards, ima lose it
Cooper Flagg is not “generational” they gonna make it hard for this dude
Cooper Flagg future GOAT 💯
Missing Drake Powell and Ian
We putting Ace Bailey at 4 just to be edgy? Hes clearly going 2
exactly
His defence is extremely bad.
I have him outside the top five, though.
@@scottwickett1273 Why
@@kaikai9201that’s a terrible lie
I believe Brooklyn might be the worst team next season
They will be Nets trying get Cooper Flagg
Blazers or Raptors too
pistons still
Most marketable for Flagg

The Kirilenko comp is honestly pretty damn spot on can’t get much better than that.

OMG the disrespect on Ace Bailey is crazy he goes no.1 if not then ROTY
I have him outside the top five.
c'est beaucoup trop tôt pour faire une mock draft même si celle ci s'avère plus relevé que la cuvée 2024 .
SCREW YOU, CBS SPORTS!!!! No way my Nets go all the way down to 6!!!!!
Flagg to Brooklyn
Here come the tribals. As if playing is better than ownership
Bailey @ 4? Clearly this guy never played basketball
I think he should be lower than that, but what does a given observer's playing experience have to do with anything?
Ace Bailey will be drafted before Flagg.
Hard headed
He absolutely won't.
