Jon Scheyer & Mike Krzyzewski On Cooper Flagg
The hype has not really begun...but it will.
It’s May and the NBA playoffs are still dominating basketball news, so it’s going to be a while before Cooper Flagg mania really cranks up. It’s going to get pretty crazy when the season gets closer.
How excited is Jon Scheyer? Pretty excited, judging from what he says here:
“Cooper, it’s been a joy to watch him play in high school… No matter when I’ve seen him, he always plays the same way. He always competes, 100% effort. And I think that’s a separator… To me, it’s how he competes and who he is as a teammate.
“He always competes, 100% effort, and I think that’s a separator.”
Coach K is also asked about young Flagg and he compares him to Andrei Kirilenko, but more advanced at this age offensively. If you don’t recognize the name, here’s more on him and here’s some video.
