I agree totally with you. I think the kid is very good but has weaknesses that have to be improved to be very good at next level. However I would say I see this in most top prospects now. It’s become a game of natural advantages and flashy dunks and great outside shooting. But the overall fundamentals are weak. Boxing out. Defending off the ball. After using a pick missing the picker rolling to basket. In many cases terrible fundamentals from players considered really good. This is why despite great natural talent the rest of the world is getting hard to beat in international play. The old nyc catholic hs fundamentals are not taught or drilled enough. These fundamentals used to be mastered and allowed players to pull even or surpass more athletic players. So today they shoot better then ever and are bigger and more athletic but have poor overall fundamentals.

He can shoot, rebound, elite blocking, defend, has handles, makes great passes. You can cherry pick anyone’s missed shot and say ah yes your foot was too crooked, or your knees were bent 5° too much… please. No one can stop him in highschool right now. No need to compare him NBA because he still has to finish highschool and college. And his mom is actually a really good coach who played D1 with plenty of awards.

The kid certainly has skills and great body control for his size. Hopefully he’ll keep developing the parts of his game that this coach and scout pointed out.

Great video, great to highlight what is not good enough yet.

This is what someone with a little knowledge sounds like while pretending to really know what he's talking about. The fake bluster don't fool me. The errors you point to here are as common as a cold for all young players, no matter how great they are or how much potential they have. Decision making on offense comes with experience and with working your way to the top when you're surrounded by other great players. And no one learns how to really play defense until they get into college and get the right teaching and repetition needed to master that end of the floor. If you're looking for good defensive play in AAU ball you might as well be looking for a needle in a stack of straw. And who told you that a shooters feet had to be "aligned" in order for them to have a good release? Pure nonsense. A legitimate scout would have highlighted the kid's strengths and weaknesses. He would have included video depicting some of the good things he observed while reviewing his game tape. It would not have held back from being critical but would have done so in a positive and encouraging way. This is particularly true for a kid of Cooper's age. BTW... I have 30 years of HS and College coaching experience and have travelled back and forth across the country coaching AAU ball....the worst thing that's happened to youth basketball in the last 50 years. Fake coaches, "trainers" and scouts abound. I can sniff em out from a mile away. Parents and players beware.

​@@chuckbarkley2182 Also maybe if he didn't have videos doing the same exact thing with other players including Cameron Boozer, you might have a point, but he does so there is also that. Again I know exactly what you mean but not the case here man it is just that while all that other stuff is going on simultaneously were softer is all and so more inclined to think even rational good things like constructive criticism and even justifiable punishment are default"hating". .

Young man is 16! He has some of the best coaching available. He will fix these “faults” in his game. He’ll get stronger and faster as he gets more mature. Seems to me this guy is using a boy to up his own credibility, while trying to shame said kid. How narcissistic does one have to be to assume that Cooper Flagg needs or wants your coaching? #1 rated player and all!

Dang.. Excellent evaluation. Great perspective coming from a guy that really knows the game. Sometimes players look better than they are because of the players around them.

I sure someone could have taken game clips of LeBron James at the same age and broke down everyone of his bad possessions and bad habits.

@@curtisvenom32 he responded to me with pseudo-scouting nonsense. It's the Larry Bird syndrome. Cooper Flagg is white and damn good. So every black scout has to point out any and every weakness. But you notice how he had nothing critical to say about Cam Boozer's game? Supposedly he's NBA ready. And Cooper isn't. They both will have a learning curve on the next level. But I'll pick Cooper over Cam. Cooper can be a star. Cam will mostly likely be like his father. He'll play 10 plus years in the NBA and make a lot of money. He'll be a good solid rotation player. But a star?

The play where u said he had 2 defenders and he didn’t help is just crazy too, the second “defender” u circle is behind both of them and out of the play, he came to tag the roller, and like I said since he’s playing with lesser athletes it makes sense that he’s over helping even if that was the case. U keep comparing him to having to guard a giannis or lebron like not even the best defenders in the league can. U forget he’s gonna have nba comp on his team as well

great video and analysis. to anyone saying this is disrespectful, how? if anything, it’s respectful. this guy knows what he’s talking about, never bad mouths cooper, and the kid would obviously benefit from watching this video.

Cooper is better then other high school kids his age. That's why espn called him number one in the country and I think it's a disservice to compare him to NBA players. He will get better at the college level and end up being a number one pick, or close to it.

I personally think Duke is going to prepare him more for NBA life as being a player at Duke is already much like being an NBA player

When you say unaligned feet, you want his feet to be even? Because every single ELITE NBA shooter breaks your own rule there.

Good criticism. Hoping he continues to develop at a high level. Just need people like you who can show him the slight flaws in his game so he can continue to grow towards that next level.

Most players even at the professional levels don't know how to play without the ball. That's the main difference between old players back in the day in young players. But this generation is way more skilled. Cooper will do well because there are still flaws even with today's NBA players. Once he has the strength he needs, I'm sure he's rated number one for a reason. NBA Scouts that saw him, probably know a thing or two.

This generation is probably the least skilled, not the most skilled. Majority have no post game. Majority have no concept of moving without the ball. They look so great offensively because their defenders are severely handicapped by the rules that are in place. The actual concept of what constitutes a legal dribble has been bent to allow them to consistently carry/double dribble, in addition to how many of the stars are allowed to have multiple pivot foots and thus travel when the situation suits them. The officials often bend over backwards to accomadate the shortcomings and bad habits that they have picked up from pick up ball and AAU. The fact that so many are playing fewer and fewer college games if any at all means they arrive in the league lacking training in the fundamentals but still with a certain level unrealistic expectations that stunts their further growth as a player. Too often their overall development is stunted by the team that drafts them, dependent upon the competence of those in charge and how well they are committed to it AND how much the player is committed and sold on it. If his ego is massive that may be a hard sell.

I would agree with you that they don't play the game as well as we did X NBA players Etc most people believe this generation is more skilled. The creativity with the ball is off the chart more players are skilled than back in the day. In my opinion as a former college coach of 24 years they don't play the game as well but their skill is off the chart

I could also make a how to stop Lebron tape based on his 50% misses. Kid is 6'8 at 16 years old. He's going to be playing (bare minimum) PF at the next level. Way, way, way too much criticism that he doesn't dribble like a point guard and doesn't drive like Ja Morant. Kid isn't going to handle the ball even 1/2 that much at the pro level. Kid is double/triple teamed every play. He's not going to be handling the ball every play down the floor at college, more or less the pros. It works because of all the plays you aren't showing.

Yeah but i think youre kind of missing the point of the video. Having the ball is how cooper plays the game, he is pretty high usage. Its okay that he doesnt dribble like a pg or drive like ja morant at this level, but the guy is just pointing out that his game as it is right now will be a little harder to translate to the NBA unless he fixes some of these ball handling and decision making mistakes. The talent is there 1000% but at that next level obviously everyone is as talented as you. It comes down to specific details at that next level that this dude is pointing out. The criticism is based on NBA level. Hes been alive for like 16 years lol these are warranted mistakes anyways. By the time he gets to the league he will have hopefully vastly improved as many players that come around like him tend to do. I think he will be fine but this is about criticism and getting better for the best league in the world.
