It is rare to find a player of this size who can create driving lanes out of nothing while navigating small spaces

This is a star indicator

Paige Bueckers

Thomas Sorber spins into space

Flagg able to play with more energy on defense in this tourney with less offensive creation burden. Led to a 8 steal and 4 block final vs. Spain (not to mention 17 boards). His block numbers have been disappointing to me at Duke so far, but here's a nice reminder of the rim protection upside

A succinct summary of Cooper Flagg's greatest weakness and strength at age 15

Nice sequence from Owen Freeman

Coop craft

Texas Tech's Darrion Williams has leveled up as a distributor in his third NCAA season:

Sophomore -> Junior season

Assist Rate: 15% -> 33%
Assist to Turnover Ratio: 1.5 -> 3.3

PNR Passer Poss. per Game: 0.5 -> 3.0
PNR (shooting + passing) Efficiency %ile: 54th -> 94th

Looks like Derik Queen gives a little in-and-out fake on this drive, spinning the ball outward against motion to move the rim protector, capitalizing then with the decel footwork

Egor Demin's handle might be limited compared to high end primaries but he is still very creative on ball, check out how he edits his cadence twice in two dribbles. Not in service of anything here but generally allows him to be specific with where he can go

This level of shotblocking and offensive rebounding is very rare. His wingspan, hands, mobility and nose for the ball make him an NBA player imo

JoJo Tugler closeout block. So far, Houston has a *75* defensive rating when he's on the court compared to a still good 94 when off

More Fland taking contact. Does not deserve to be in the convo of small, high usage guards who are significant defensive liabilities. Just needs to work on the screen nav
