Cooper Flagg being a better prospect than KD is the hot take of all hot takes.

Size, length, skill, fluidity, efficiency as a scorer - KD is the total package offensively. Unguardable. Once every 30-year guy.

Maybe when they are considering how good a prospect is they consider more than offense but im not sure.
I agree with you that KD is about as perfect of a scorer as has ever existed though.

I don't care what they're considering. In addition to being a generational scoring superstar, Durant is a proven (and very underrated) NBA defender and capable rim protector. It's just an insulting comparison.

The Flagg hype is getting totally out of hand. The kid is going to have massive target on his back when he gets to the league.
 
Just off the top of my head I'd say Oden, Durant, and Luka I'd have over Flagg for sure. He's probably in the next tier with guys like Davis, Wall, and Zion in terms of #1 picks.

What Durant has done in his NBA career is irrelevant to ranking him as a prospect.

He was on another level as a prospect. Clearly a generational talent even then, totally unstoppable in college.

Flagg is the 2nd coming of rookie Hayward. Nice high motor player who fills in the blanks and does all the little things. We'll see if he ever gets to the level Gordon eventually achieved. He'll have to learn to shoot for that.

(By the way, a little known fact: Flagg and Hayward are almost the same size. Flagg will have to survive at the 3 spot in the NBA, which will not be easy.)

I simply cannot comprehend an argument for considering Cooper Flagg a better NBA draft prospect than freshman-year Kevin Durant.

There really isn't one. KD was 25/11 and 4 stocks on amazing efficiency.
