Let’s talk this Darryn Peterson fiasco

[aceboon]

the Arizona game was the one for me where I had to throw in the towel, #1 undefeated team coming into your building with a packed out crowd, you go through shootaround and decide "nah, I'm good"

Yeah that bothered me the most. Where's the competitive fire to give it go?!!

 

[JesusFOREVER]

nikka just made up a fake scenario that never happened

Ace Bailey is better than Cooper Flagg

Flagg jumper doesn't even need that much work and dude is the second rank prospect on his team, now they both are top 3 but thats beside the point. Flagg shooting 33 percent from 3 and more importantly 81 from the free throw line which is a great marker especially on how many attempts he's...

Tony Allen: Cooper Flagg is Andrei Kirilenko with a Duke stimulus Package

AK47 would be a perennial all defense and potentially DPOY in this era, where people are smarter about his kind of value. Imagine a wing averaging 3 blks and near 3 stls a game now:wow: He won't average anywhere near 3 blocks and 3 steals any year of his career. Most likely nowhere close to...

Bullshyt I did yall do this every year lol, always tryna find a flaw with the clear #1 guy just sit down wait and see yall are not experts

 

[JesusFOREVER]

When this nikka putting up empty stats on mediocre teams, you'll be hopping on another 19 year old's dikk making up fake talking points to argue with yourself like you have any idea what the fukk you talking about

Lmao right, like when I was wrong about cooper Flagg Huh? Yall don’t know ball on this site just stop

Bruh you can say all this woke diatribe you want doesn’t change the fact we saw Coop giving the US Men’s Olympic team straight BUCKETS and possesses every elite skill to head to the next level, you think Franz Wagner is good? Coop about to make him the Damontas Sabonis to his Nikola Jokic

He is the one plain and simple

I don’t think people understand what they’re seeing with copper Flagg and that’s because the ncaa didn’t really hype him up nor did Cooper really care that much to show his skillset- in high school he was pretty much and all around monster but he had to reel it back in college- going to Duke was all about learning the fundamentals and how to “win” the game- he could have made the jump to the league straight out of high school and was sleepwalking through his freshman year and still almost won the natty after being injured- people said “he can’t shoot” yet he shot 40% during the tournament- he’s gonna dominate off rip like LeBron did- because he’s simply the best hs prospect since LeBron

you gonna quote the specific posts in those threads started by retarded nikkas in which you and those other posters accuse Flagg, in your own words, of "not trying"? Contrarians trying to downplay Flagg's talent is one thing, accusing him of not trying and/or pulling the stunts that Peterson and his camp are doing is something else entirely. That literally never happened, one of Flagg's best attributes is his motor and that was on display day 1 and college and never stopped.

The point isn’t that people accused coop of not trying, the point is that he wasn’t trying- and it made a section of people on this site have red flags on him as a prospect because he didn’t “look” the part of a generational talent, he and DP are both dudes who could have played straight out of HS and were forced to go to college because of the rules, they just there to collect a bag and hoop. I already said DP has taken it to a whole nother level as Flag as least looked engaged on winning a natty and playing as much as possible, but overall it’s the same situation really- no reason to risk anything when you’re already so far ahead of the competition and getting paid in this modern era.

 

[desjardins]

They should be telling him to sit out the rest of the season. Not play a lil bit in a game then sit out

This is the obvious play they should have went with imo.
Show your talent early and shut it down due to some minor "clean up" surgery that won't impact your draft stock (ie: the kyrie)

 

[the cool]

I wouldn’t draft him if he fell to 20th pick

Got bust written all over him

 

[CrimsonTider]

future Sacramento King

It’s karma atp

Flagg won national player of the year, how the fukk wasn't he trying? You gotta be trolling with this dumb ass shyt, folks who tried to downplay his talent did so because they wanted to be contrarians, not because they watched him and said he's not trying.

 

[CrimsonTider]

His family is obviously full of idiots

They should be telling him to sit out the rest of the season. Not play a lil bit in a game then sit out

He’s getting paid millions to play these games

He should’ve took this bullshyt to the G league

 

[Flight]

when is the last time DP has spoken with media? Kansas doesn't make him available before or after games?

He only speaks after wins. I think his last press appearance was after he gamed Texas Tech

 

[L. Deezy]

if Self dont man up and tell dude kick rocks already..

You aint tryin to have big recruits see you getting punked. Pay and play when I feel like it is a no go

 

[duncanthetall]

One of those situations where the scoring ability is undeniable, but fuuuuuuuuuuuck is this kid gonna be hard to deal with? Is he the type of talent that’ll make it all worth it? Will people want to play with him despite all this? I mean I understand it if he’s load managing a hammy, but bro needs to be communicating that. Trainers need to be with him. I don’t get it and don’t wanna make crazy assumptions, but for sure not a great look.

 

[holidayinn21]

Either you have a motor or you don't. You can't teach it.

Nah. This kid was already counting down the seconds until he was done for the night. Almost robotically

Man hell no. Red flags galore. He has no competitiveness in him. It's been engrained in him from the start; he doesn't like playing. He just happened to be good at basketball. He and his team are going to pull these stunts on the team that drafts him

And for people comparing him to Anthony Edwards: Ant missed a grand total of zero games at Georgia. I'm not tryna hear this
