    AK47 was a better 3P shooter as well as a better defender.

    Would be crazy to have him go back, he’s technically still supposed to be a senior but that’s a lot of risk. You’re guaranteed first pick this season, an injury could end your career before it starts.

    Duke and Dukies would pay him more than the NBA to come back for another year.

    Possibly, but damn, that’s still a lot of risk.

    Flagg has elite court awareness and instincts on both ends, especially as a weak side help defender. My kid goes to Duke and Flagg has turned me (grudgingly) into a Duke fan.

    He'll be stupid af to go back if he wants to maximize his earnings. Doesn't matter if duke pays him 13mil next year, he will lose a year of that sweet max deal. Unless Duke plans to pay him 350mil for the next 8 years.

    Exactly the reason he needs to enter the draft

    Yeah...

    Neither of these are good comparisons, other than that they're white.

    He'll be only 22 in his 5th year of the NBA. I can only imagine how much better he will be at that point. It's crazy to think about. Whoever wins the lottery pick this year is so damn lucky.
