As a big critic of Cooper's offensive ceiling

Tbh, I am a fan of Flagg but often criticize his offensive capabilities as someone who is deemed to be the next big thing (some even said "generational", but I really didn't buy it). To be a no.1 guy on a capable team, you need to be able to pass and/or score at a high level like Banchero, and I wasn't really seeing that from Flagg early on. I thought, he might more of a high level 2 way connector role like pre-breakout Kawhi. Unlike Harper, who seems to fit the mold more of an offensive hub

Watching him now seems like watching a different person. He now scores with ease, moves with purpose, makes plays like a true point forward, and that jumpshot has been really nice lately. I've watched all of his single digit stinkers, and he really improved so much in such a short span. TLDR - yep, he's going number 1
