2025 Draft Profile - Cooper Flagg

The Ringer - May 27th: "He doesn’t yet have one elite skill, but his ability to do a bunch of things well puts him in rarefied air. He’s a twitchy, long, and bouncy athlete, yet he likely won’t break the scale in any one category. He also doesn’t have a significant weakness."

Kyle Boone - CBS Sports - May 23rd: "The one pick you can already write in sharpie. Dallas lands its foundational piece after blowing it up midseason by dealing Luka Doncic."

NBA Draft Room - May 22nd: "Some scouts question is ability to carry a team offensively but I have no doubts that he will develop into a first option offensive player. Add in his generational defensive abilities and you’ve got a superstar level talent."

Kevin O'Connor - Yahoo! Sports - May 12th: "Flagg is a do-it-all forward who hustles like a madman, makes his teammates better as a passer and has dialed in a knockdown jumper. He’s both the best offensive and defensive prospect in this draft class, making him the safest No. 1 pick in ages."

Jonathan Givony - ESPN - March 25th: "Flagg showcased his high-level, two-way versatility and flashed his improvement as a shot creator. He shouldered significant playmaking duties out of pick-and-roll, isolations, post-ups and pushing in the open floor, making passes all over the court and getting to the rim and finishing with both hands."

NBA Draft Room - March 22nd: "Flagg is one of the most complete prospects to come into the draft in years. He’s a lock to go no.1 in June and is the highest rated prospect we’ve seen since Wemby."

Jonathan Giovany - ESPN - March 13th: "Flagg has solidified his standing as the consensus No. 1 pick in a phenomenal freshman season that saw him improve every facet of his game, helping him exceed the expectations with which he had when he entered college."

Kyle Boone - CBS Sports - March 12th: "Flagg has flown into frontrunner status for national player of the year and has a top-five offense and defense with him leading the way. He's an efficient producer whose defensive dynamism makes him as close to a sure thing in this class as there is."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - March 11th: "The analytics say he's having one of the most impactful, one-and-done seasons ever, with only Zion Williamson, Anthony Davis, Kevin Love and Michael Beasley finishing with a higher box plus-minus than Flagg’s 14.4. The eye test on his athleticism, creation and shotmaking development and IQ/instincts for passing and defending backs up the historic numbers."

USA Today - March 11th: "He can use either hand on shots in the paint, knows how to run plays, can hit catch-and-shoot 3s and is an active weakside defender. Flagg, who has added more muscle since the start of the year, is a physical player who initiates contact, is confident and plays with force when necessary."
