“Cooper Flagg wins this spot in a landslide. That’s the luxury being the only teenager to appear in B/R 99,” BR’s Dan Favale writes. “The 6’9″ rookie is as versatile and disruptive on defense as advertised… Stuffing the box score will help Flagg challenge for further best-of-his-age bracket honors in the years to come. As it stands, just three other non-center rookies have matched his defensive rebounding, assist, steal and block rates in as many minutes: Lonzo Ball, Lamar Odom and Ben Simmons.”
