This draft class is loading up to be something special.
Cooper Flagg just became the youngest ever to drop 40, Dylan Harper has slotted in at San Antonio extremely well, and VJ Edgecomb is giving Philly fans a reason to tune in again.
But if you’re asking me who I like most right now, it might be Kon Knueppel.
Flagg’s Duke teammate is rolling at 19.4 points per game and knocking down triples at a tasty 40.9%.
He’s gone 20+ in three of his last four, barely missed again with 19 last time out, and not long ago dropped 29 on Cleveland.
It wouldn’t be a rookie edition without the number one pick getting a run.
Cooper Flagg has gone 20+ in four straight, including a ridiculous 42 against Utah last week, and Dallas are clearly happy to let him cook.
New Orleans still look undecided on how to handle him.
They’ve thrown three different defenders at Flagg across two meetings and none of it’s stuck.
The result? An average 36 PRA.
