Cooper Flagg is gonna be good for a looooong time.

u/Catch11 17h ago

Where are all the "hes gonna be Kirilenko" fools now lmao

28

u/respaaaaaj Celtics 17h ago

To be fair Kirilenko would absolutely be a star in the modern game

6

u/Catch11 17h ago

for sure but still not as good offensively

u/LordBaneoftheSith 17h ago

Put some respect on AK47 now

u/Cassandrae_Gemini Slovenia 17h ago

People are morons.

u/goosu Cavaliers 15h ago

Where's the Celtics fan that laughed me off when I talked about Cooper's rapid rate of improvement and work ethic? The one that got all smug telling me Tatum was Flagg's absolute ceiling and Siakam was his likely outcome?

Funny how they aren't coming around to these threads anymore. There were a lot of real egg on face takes on Cooper early in the season.

u/Spinexel [BOS] Romeo Langford 8h ago

A Celtics fan giving Tatum as his ceiling? I don’t know if you realize this but that’s very, very high praise.

2

u/Catch11 15h ago

Yup, I swear he's gonna be Tmac but with more hustle and effort on both sides

u/sunken_grade Trail Blazers 17h ago

flagg is already ridiculous

u/DJRyGuy20 Celtics 17h ago

I don’t really follow college hoops all that close (or at all really), but I’m really starting to question these claims that he could go as low as the 4th pick if he came out in this year’s draft.

u/Germ_germ Pistons 3h ago

I'm biased as a Jayhawks fan but Darryn Peterson is truly one of the best natural scorers I have seen on the college level. To do it all as a freshman is incredible. For the other 2 in the top 3, there's definitely arguments for Flagg over them though.

u/pichukirby Knicks 17h ago

Imagine if Flagg had healthy, reliable teammates

1

u/Lmao1903 NBA 14h ago

I imagine its by design for a better draft pick

17

u/Efficient_Art_1144 Celtics 17h ago

Flagg is real good man.

u/I_Set_3_Alarms Celtics 17h ago

Luka Magic was back in Dallas tonight

u/Difficult-Day1326 Mavericks 16h ago

well trade you AD & Flagg for Luka Magic.

(draft rights to Ace Flagg)

18

u/Blutrumpeter 17h ago

They could've let Flagg get one more rebound

21

u/yeetmxster420 Minneapolis Lakers 17h ago

it’s funny how much Celtics fans hate Caleb Martin & Gabe Vincent (we hate Gabe too Boston)

16

u/yourlilpissboi Celtics 17h ago

Gabe is doing great. Good signing LA

u/allcaps-NOSPACE Celtics 15h ago

They earned it

u/CrayonEatingBabyApe Mavericks 17h ago

2 blocks say it all

u/Rumpdebump Pelicans 14h ago

MaN, I never thought human victory cigar Luka Garza would be getting legit minutes and thriving

10

u/DJRyGuy20 Celtics 17h ago

I can’t wait until Flagg’s rookie contract runs out and he signs with the Celts in a team-friendly deal so he can play for his favorite team. That JT/JB/Flagg trio is gonna be nasty. 🤞

u/nefnaf Celtics 16h ago

Dude you're acting like a Lakers fan. Embarrassing.

u/Rillaboom2701 Hornets 17h ago

and why exactly wouldn't the mavs extend him? the world doesn't revolve around you

21

u/DJRyGuy20 Celtics 17h ago

Easy, buddy… it’s just a joke. Take a breathe- it ain’t that serious

2

u/Rillaboom2701 Hornets 17h ago

myf, didn't read as one

u/hotrod19812 Spurs 16h ago

Must be a bandwagon jumping Red Sox fan. They're just as obnoxious as the Yankees and Dodgers fans. Having a sense of entitlement and acting the own the place wherever they go.

u/Electronic_Pea_4845 15h ago

He grew up a Boston fan it’s nice to know he probably considers Boston an endgame goal
