Flag, son of the United States: In terms of talent and ability, is the leader of the times? Or is the next Markanin?

Cooper Flag

Recently, the No. 1 pick Cooper Flag was invited by the Mavericks to go to Dallas for a trial. This is also a preparation for the 2025 draft. This year, the Dallas Mavericks were lucky to win the No. 1 pick with a probability of 1.8%. This is also the cornerstone player for the Mavericks to build a team in the future. It is reasonable to try out Flag and it is also a wonderful contact between the two sides!

Cooper Flag, born in December 2006, studied at Duke University. The physical test data for the joint trial training in Chicago are: height 203 cm, 213 cm, weight 100.3 kg, standing and touching height 271 cm, length 22.2 cm, moving at four points for 10.64 seconds, shuttle running for 2.92 seconds, three-quarters sprint for 3.33 seconds, and bounced on the spot 73.7 cm. None of these data can rank first, which shows that Flag is not biased against the subject and has strong overall strength. In a March game before the NCAA, in Duke vs. Georgia Tech match, No. 1 favorite Cooper Flagg was helped to leave the court with a left ankle injury near the end of the first half. During the intermission, Flag was seen being taken to be inspected in a wheelchair. Shortly after the second half began, he walked back to the bench on his own, without protective boots on his feet, but he did not return to the final Duke win 78-70. After experiencing this injury, everyone's rumors about him were that he needed to recuperate for a long time. Even if he came back, he had to wait until Duke reached the semi-finals before he could return. There was also news that Flag was going to stay in college for another year. Just when everyone thought he would regret missing the NCAA, Flag could miraculously appear in the first round on time, which shows how solid his body was.

Duke entered the sweet semi-finals in the NCAA Championship and played against Houston in the semi-finals. Unfortunately, Duke was ahead of the whole game. At the end of the game, the Houston Rockets showed the team's resilience and firm execution of the coach's arrangement. Duke really lost Jingzhou carelessly and was expected to enter the finals to win the championship, but unexpectedly, he was overtaken at the last moment! In the last moment, Duke University Flag made a fatal rebound foul and sent his opponent a free throw. Houston University made both free throws and overtook 1 point. Then Flag missed and made a jump shot with a desperate shot. Quille of Houston made two free throws to secure the victory. Duke lost 67-70, which also brought regretful memories to Flag's college career.

The live broadcaster gave Flag the most shots at the 2025 Lotto Lottery Conference. After the lottery was over, he also interviewed Flag separately and gave him a lot of praise words. Flag was also cautious in responding to various questions. It demonstrates his emotional intelligence and IQ. After all, the son of the United States is from Duke University and also shows his humble and gentleman taste.

The reason why Flag is called "Son of the United States" was that when he played in the Paris Olympics in the United States last year, Flag was called by the American Dream Team as a sparring coach of the American national team. In the team, he is a newborn calf and dares to fight against Dark Eyebrow. He also made many dunks, demonstrating his physical fitness and offensive ability, and was unanimously recognized by James and Curry. They expressed that Flag is a promising player.

Frager will do next to maintain a healthy body, undergo trial training from the Mavericks or the Spurs, and will not fall to third place at most, and will basically win the title of No. 1 pick. Will he become the leader of the new era and new trends in the NBA? The lowest level will also be players like Markkanen. As long as you maintain a healthy body, I believe Flag can become a generation of heroes and another good card that supports Xiao Hua to promote the NBA to the whole world.
