dAs we\u2019ve mentioned before, there are some very differing opinions on Cooper Flagg\u2019s NBA potential. No one suggests the Duke product\u2019s going to be a bust, but some people think he\u2019s going to be good while others think he could be great.<\/p>\n
And as we\u2019ve also mentioned before, the divide seems to have journalists on one side who tend to think that Flagg may be overrated vs. basketball professionals who think he\u2019s quite promising indeed.<\/p>\n

Well here\u2019s one more you can add to the quite promising stack: Alan Iverson.<\/p>\n
Iverson, who became a legend with the Philadelphia 76ers, warmly greets Flagg in this video and praises him, calling him a \u201cbad boy\u201d and making it clear that he\u2019s a fan.<\/p>\n
The truth is that people miss on players all the time. Guys who were supposed to be great aren’t, and second round picks like Nikola Jokic or Manu Ginobli, become eventual Hall of Famers.<\/p>\n
So we\u2019ll have to wait to see where Flagg falls on the scale of great vs. overhyped. However, between journalists and basketball professionals, we\u2019ll lean towards the professionals every time.<\/p>\n
