Following Potential 2025 Draftees

From my memory the Wiggins and Flagg hype is pretty similar at this stage. Wiggins wasn't amazing in college and so some of the hype had died down by draft time, but I could see the same thing happening with Flagg as well.

The Wiggins hype was crazy. His stats were pretty damn good in college.
 
I can’t remember a class I other this much hype since the 2014 draft. Wiggins was one of the most hyped prospects of all time. Parker was right there behind him and several others were considered number one type prospects.

Yeah, Flagg is impactful all over the floor defensively and is more versatile offensively with more ways to score than Lauri has.

You've literally seen him play small, slow HS kids as a massive manchild, and high school basketball is a terrible clown show as it is. Stop it.

Flagg was a super early bloomer physically. In the NCAA, his lack of a first step, extremely shaky jump shot and tendency to bite on every shot fake will all get exposed. He won't be able to handle the ball at the college level, which means that he really can't handle the ball in the NBA.

This is the most overhyped #1 prospect in like 15 years.

No we have seen him play against big, super athletic and elite highschool players. We also just saw him hold his own against actual nba players as a 17yr old.

If only we held onto our 35th pick and drafted that Jokic guy in the 2nd round, it would have more than made up for the Exum bust.

Cooper Flagg is hyped up as a generational talent because the relentless draft-industrial complex needs him and his narrative. It's all about money, entertainment and eyeballs. This year's draft was terrible – there was no star power at all. People lost interest, and when people lose interest, other people lose money. That can't happen two years in a row, so Flagg is the new Wemby. Sure, he's the Temu version, but that's better than nothing at this point.

I know I'm right about this, so I'm just gonna take it easy and watch everything unfold. Flagg will have an underwhelming season. His shot won't fall, he'll block some shots, he'll get in the NBA and be shockingly bad.
