NBA scout reveals Cooper Flagg won't be the first-overall pick

[RandySF]

For years, NBA scouts have deemed Cooper Flagg as the undisputed first-overall pick in the upcoming edition of the NBA Draft. The Duke product was viral long before committing to the Blue Devils.

Flagg has been solid for the most part during his first — and most likely only — season in college basketball. Even so, others are starting to have second thoughts about him.

According to NBA Draft expert Nic Thomas, scouts don’t feel like he’s the clear-cut best player in the nation right now, with Rutgers star Dylan Harper taking that spot.

“Cooper is an awesome prospect. Almost any other year he’d go number one. However, a guy like Dylan’s Harper is far more likely to go first,” the scout reportedly said.

1. Kinda Sad I think

For any kid. Stay and enjoy your time in College. I know the moneys a tough draw and the chance of injury and on and on. Grow. Improve. Mature. Make yourself even more valuable. And God Forbid get a College Education. And being the number one pick shouldn’t be a goal. Okay I’ll shut up.

2. Lottery picks should take the money and go. Why should the NCAA get paid for their work?

They can always go back for an education, and they shouldn't risk losing a fortune by staying in college.

3. Has he lived up to the hype? He looks like an excellent player in the

handful of games I’ve seen but he doesn’t look like a overall number one pick to me. But no is asking for my opinions on him however. He is very young.

4. Rutgers has 2 possible #1's and their 7-5?

I don’t follow college ball much this early in the season.

5. The draft doesn't happen for 6 months. Nobody knows at this point who will or won't be the #1 pick.
