Edgecombe will beat his defender. What happens next is a bit of a question, but he should at least draw fouls. If nothing else, he's bigger and bouncier than Collin Sexton, so he'll put more pressure on the rim and get defenders backpedalling. His development depends on improving his ability to play on the ball and make decisions. As it stands, he'll fly to the rim on cuts and probably make enough 3s to be considered a 3D guard.

I had him projected to go 7 - 9. Maybe he goes a spot or two ahead of that, like 6 or 7.

Esgecombe does not beat his defender with any regularity. If he's attacking a rotating defense he can make some athletic plays, but he isnt beating set defenses off his own creation
 
Edgecombe is my leader for the 5th spot after the top 4. His conference play performance is encouraging. I really don't have a strong argument for anyone else, but Traore and Tre Johnson would be in that conversation.
 
OK -- let me ask a really stupid question (as someone who hasn't really watched college games):

Why isn't Scottie Barnes used more often as a comparison for Flagg? All of the comparisons I've seen seem off in important ways, so I'm a little surprised that I haven't really seen Barnes as a comparison in terms of size, style, versatility? Hopefully Flagg is better, but he Barnes seems as close as most to how we might envision Flagg fitting in on a team.

Flagg shoots better, facilitates better and generally plays harder. I've heard the Barnes comp for Flagg before, but Flagg has a presence and impact on the game that puts him in a higher tier as a prospect than Barnes for me. There are some similarities though.

It's impossible to make that comparison until Flagg gets to the league. Only then do we know what he really can and can't do. The game is totally different.

He is used as a comp quite often
