All Frenchies look alike.
Barring an injury to you know who, I'd say the odds are quite low. Even with a ancient as CP3 is we've upgraded 2 of our starting positions with him and Barnes. And that's before you even get into what they bring off the court making others better. I think we challenge for 6-8 range.

Imagine we have Wemby, Flagg, Castle on the defensive end...
Only way we get a realistic shot is if ATL sucks a fat one this year. Spurs won't be bad enough imo. I think we're going to be battling for the Play-In this season if we stay healthy.
Watching his tape, he's also a really good passer. Probably the most underrated part of his game tbh. Not super flashy, but a really sound passer who seems to make the right pass on target most of the time. He really is a bit of a Point-Forward. He excels in the PnR with the ball in his hands. Can pull up for the easy jumper if they go under, lower his head and attack the basket hard, or make a nice pass to the roller for an easy bucket or kick-out to an open shooter. A Flagg/Wemby PnR would sexy af tbh.
His peers voted him as the best player on the Olympic select team which is full of nba players
this guy hasn’t played a game of college ball yet
Imagine being Cooper Flagg, going to practice against the Hall of Famers at Team USA, and then coming back to Duke to practice with your college teammates.
Has any team ever gotten both the number 1 and number 2 pick? Imagine getting that kind of luck. Of course, I'd rather win (I'm with Chris Paul as far as hating losing goes), but there is no way I'd trade that Atlanta pick.

Never, ever underestimate the Old Man tbh
Only in the NFL. The Colts had the #1 and #2 pick in 1992 and took two colossal busts, Steve Emtman and Quinton CoryattHas any team ever gotten both the number 1 and number 2 pick? Imagine getting that kind of luck
To be fair to the Colts, that was a pretty ty draft though.
Cavs had #1 and #4 in 2011, pick Kyrie ant Tristan.Has any team ever gotten both the number 1 and number 2 pick? Imagine getting that kind of luck
Rockets had #1 and #3 in 1983, picked Sampson and McCray.
Bucks had #1 and #3 in 1977, picked Kent Benson and Marques Johnson.
Hawks had #1 and #3 in 1975, picked David Thompson and Marvin Webster.
#1 and #2 never happened.
If we get another top4 pick, there will be a mass outrage around the league.
Leg lengthening surgery so he can stop being a midget.
I’m officially all in for tanking. There are 5 prospects that I would be extremely excited to have. Idk how we get in the top 5 but I really hope we do. Maybe Young demands a trade. Maybe CP3 pulls a hammy. But I’m officially on team tank. Bring in Sochan at the point. He didn’t get a fair shot at it last year. KJ should be starting too with Collins. The twin towers worked for Minn, it’ll work for us.
If we don't tank and end up at numbers 9&10 (us and ATL pre-lottery)... there is a roughly 0.2925% chance we get both 1 & 2 spots. Coincidentally, if that were to happen, it raises the chances for CHI to drop to pick 11 for us too.Has any team ever gotten both the number 1 and number 2 pick? Imagine getting that kind of luck
Wow, that's crazy. I feel bad for them.Only in the NFL. The Colts had the #1 and #2 pick in 1992 and took two colossal busts, Steve Emtman and Quinton Coryatt

Interesting. I haven't heard of a few of those players. Was Marvin Webster any good? I haven't heard of Kent Benson and Marques (edit, spelt his name wrong) Johnson either. What about McCray? Was he any good.Cavs had #1 and #4 in 2011, pick Kyrie ant Tristan.
Rockets had #1 and #3 in 1983, picked Sampson and McCray.
Bucks had #1 and #3 in 1977, picked Kent Benson and Marques Johnson.

#1 and #2 never happened.
If we get another top4 pick, there will be a mass outrage around the league.
Any idea who the Cavs passed up that ended up better than Thompson in that draft?
Yeah, darn, those odds are low. Wasn't Atlanta projected in the 8-10 range last draft and ended up with number 1? What was the percentage on ATL getting the number 1 in this past draft?

No chance unless Vic misses 3/4 of the season. He dragged a short handed squad to a 6-2 finish
Hot take: there won't be a single generational talent in the 2025 draft, but there will be very good players. Cooper Flagg won't go #1.
The generational talent is already in the league, and plays in SA. I’ve predicted 2-3 All NBA and 3-4 All Stars. Flagg will likely stay at the top of the mocks unless someone absolutely goes nova with stats. White American boy makes good is too irresistible a storyline. I think in a very bad draft or a very good one, you can draft for need, and I think his being picked #1 would depend on whoever’s need.
What's a generational talent? If we're talking just about Timmy, Shaq, Lebron level players, then yeah, we won't see one of those in a while.
If we're talking about legit superstars, maybe one of these kids gets it.
But it's way too early to say, we've had plenty of players who looked like superstars in the making only to fall off before they even get to the league.
Flagg's biggest advantage is that his floor looks to be really high. Wing defenders are a luxury these days.
I’d say there are 4 all nba players on this draft. Maybe not generational but damn good. Like Tatum isn’t generational but he’s damn good
The last two generational talents were considered to be LeBron and Wemby. 2003 and 2023.
He lives in my apartment complex, along with several other Duke BB'ers. Ran into him in the elevator twice already.Imagine being Cooper Flagg, going to practice against the Hall of Famers at Team USA, and then coming back to Duke to practice with your college teammates.
He's OKC bound. Nephew gonna get paid to sit on his arse this year and Harden will lead the clips to 30~ wins and somehow win the lotto. It is known.
He doesn’t live on campus?
