Cooper Flagg is just 17 but he put on a show against the world’s best.
The U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team held its first pre-Paris scrimmages on Sunday and Monday, and the player everyone can’t stop talking about isn’t LeBron James or Stephen Curry. It’s a 17-year-old.
The select team is a collection of mostly young NBA players brought in to work out with the Olympic squad.included All-Rookie selections Jaime Jaquez Jr., Brandon Miller, Brandin Podziemski and Amen Thompson, but also players like 32-year-old former NBA guard Langston Galloway and former Wisconsin star Nigel Hayes-Davis.
But if you watched Flagg on Monday without knowing who he was there’s no way you would have been able to tell that he’s too young to buy a lottery ticket. He made a bunch of impressive plays, including a three over the outstretched arms of Anthony Davis and a turnaround jumper after working on Jrue Holiday in the post. Those two players have a combined 11 All-Defense selections.. “Giving it 100%. I’m confident in my ability and skill. I’m confident in who I am and what I can do.
