None of them count except for MJ anyways, because of free throws and defense or something.

Remember Flagg skipped a year of high school so age-wise he is basically the same as if he had come straight out of high school

Rookie year Coop (was 19): 20/7/5 with 47/30/81 splits

Yes, but LeBron was also playing 40 minutes a night. Flagg is at 28/9/6 per 100 possessions while LeBron was at 28/7/8.

Also the 3 point revolution hasn’t done much for Coop really lol. He’s quite mediocre atm from 3. His team is also a bad 3-point shooting team so you can’t argue about spacing really. Of course Lebron was an otherworldly talent and that is not Coop, but I would say Coop’s season is much closer to rookie Lebron’s season than any of the other young contemporaries.

Coop with improved ball handling and 3p shooting would dogwalk the league, one of the most capable rookies in recent years

People might underestimate how important it is. Look at Tatum, he’s one of the best drivers and finishers around the rim in the league, so naturally teams collapse on him when he drives, and because of that he can dish out to players who can shoot and the C’s tend to do well. If Tatum was doing the same on a team without shooters the other teams could clog the paint more and not worry as much about giving anything up outside. It just completely changes how the defense plays, and makes someone like Coop’s life much harder.

Either way, Bron’s rookie season is not actually THAT good (relative to how good the rest of his career was). He really ascended as a sophomore.

prodigus01 | Raptors

It’s not about the 3 point shooting of the player. It’s the fact that so many players are shooters and it’s made the game more spacious which makes it easier for everyone to score. Also the pace is much faster than Bron’s time.

20/5/5 game back then is like 25/7/7 now.

Whether it’s because he’s feeling better coming off his midfoot sprain or because Kidd decided to play him with Nembhard and more spacing

Its definitely some of both. He looks more energetic and springier the last couple games. and having a point guard get him the ball in his spots more, he is comfortable and can find his rhythm without thinking of running the entire offense.

I think in the future he could really be a point forward though, the IQ and vision is clearly there. he gets 5 or 6 assists a game easily now, and this game with 10! Going to be fun to see him build chemistry with kyrie next season.

Coop is a demon, was shaking his rust off after the injury, he’s always contributing one way or another, this team is buns without coop. The most clutch games in NBA on a tanking year, coop is doing it all.

B2B good games from Coop after those stinkers post-injury. Looks like he’s getting his rhythm back.

He was straight balling man, only 22 as well. Maybe got a legit shooter off the bench, which is desperately needed on this squad. sorry I was not familiar with your game Mr. Poulakidis.

Flagg is a perfect example as to why tanking is smart.

I know people get their panties in a bunch over it, but Dallas have really been in a better position now if they got the #10 seed last season and lost a play-in game? Fuck no.

Let’s not act like this isn’t a two-horse race. Leading the entire league in 3-pointers as a rookie is an absurd stat. Kon could easily end up being one of the greatest shooters we’ve ever had in the league.

Longjumping_Ad_29

Kon is already an A third option, while Coop is a C to C+ first option. Both are very impressive. Think it should be CO ROTY honestly

superdrone | Mavericks

coop is gonna need a decently long string of great games like this to have a case tbh. he missed a lot of games, i think it’s fair to give a kon a slight edge for being available through it all

For sure. If the season ended today it would be Kon. It’ll be up to Coop to put more games like this together

It probably was. Gifting them a generational star was the only thing stopping a big market fanbase from rightfully imploding. And I think it worked

CyberDunk77 | Mavericks

Oh, the ratings and attendance is definitely down, a lot of Luka-era die hards will not come back. however I think Coopers talent and embracing the city and fans is keeping the fanbase from completely cratering though.

And with the new arena they are building I think if they do it right by building in an area with good amenities and easy access, and with having a franchise player in place, the attendance will rebound substantially. Drafting Coop definitely saved this franchise from complete doom for 7-10 years.
