At 6'10”, Bailey has fantastic size, smooth, fluid athleticism, and impressive skill. He looks every bit the part of a potential star in the NBA.The following day we saw Cooper Flagg take the floor and he didn’t disappoint either. In exhibition, Flagg scored 22 points with 6 assists and 4 blocks. Flagg seems to do everything on the floor and showed that his jumper is for real and can be a potential hub of a future offense. Combine that with his game-changing defense and you can see why teams like the Utah Jazz would be willing to go for what looks like a potential franchise-altering player.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center">Duke’s 6’9 Freshman Cooper Flagg made his College Debut today vs Lincoln… 22 PTS (8-16 FG, 2-5 3PT) 6 AST 2 REBS 4 BLKS Have we seen enough??
