Cooper Flagg vs Paolo Banchero
Who's better as a prospect? There was some debate going in another thread so I'm curious what the general opinion is here.
Flagg currently has better numbers across the board and is a year younger than Paolo was, which I think that gives him a very strong case, but some people still argue strongly in favor of Paolo.
