How strong is No. 1 Flag? The second youngest draft in history, famous mouth: the white man closest to Bird

Let's insert a sentence first: Yang Hansen was selected by the Trail Blazers in the 16th position! !

On June 26, the NBA draft is in full swing. I just released the draft situation of the top ten picks and the characteristics of each rookie. Interested friends can go and take a look. Of course, after the first round draft, I will also make a summary article, but now the draft will not be finished for a while, so we can talk about the new top pick in this draft.

Generally speaking, the most popular player in each session is the No. 1 pick in this session, and Flag even locked the No. 1 pick in advance last year. He had a sparring training for the US men's basketball team last summer. At that time, there were also players such as Pojemsky and Jabarry Smith, who were all sparring teams. Flag was called the strongest player in the sparring team by the assistant coach at that time. Although he had not entered the league yet, he was recognized like this.

After entering the NCAA, he did not disappoint everyone's expectations for him. In the college season, Flag showed his dominance on both offense and defense. He averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. Because of his outstanding performance, he also has many draft templates. After all, the top talents are very close. In the past, everyone called him White Skin James, and many scouts later thought he was a combination of Thick Eyebrow and Garnett. Now some people say it is a combination of AK47 and Tatum.

The one thing that can be confirmed is that Flag does not have historical talent like Zion and James, but his chances of losing are extremely small, because he can adapt to any lineup system. To put it bluntly, he can adapt to the current style of playing, with three-pointers and defense, with excellent ball-holding offensive ability and organizational ability. It is also possible to develop a ball-holding forward line in the future. As long as he joins a team, he can become an excellent combat power.

Flag's No. 1 pick is more like Thani Brows. As long as you play, you can help the team in many aspects. However, compared to Thani Brows, Flag's outside projection and organizational ability are better, and his upper limit may be higher. Moreover, Flag has the opportunity to pursue his historical status because he is the second youngest draft player in history, only 8 days older than James back then. As an NCAA player, the reason why he was able to participate in the draft at the age of 18 is mainly because he skipped the grade in high school.

It can be said that Flag has been ready to participate in the NBA long ago. He also has the idea of ​​pursuing his historical status, otherwise he would not have planned so early. He is considered the son of the new generation of the United States, which also shows how high the NBA has expectations for him. After Flag joins the Mavericks, he will wear the No. 32 jersey. In addition, the US media also predicts that Flag's contract in the rookie season will reach 67.2 million in four years, and his starting salary will reach 13.8 million.

This is also what this No. 1 pick deserves. US media predicts the Mavericks' starting lineup next season: Irving, Clay, Flag, Davis and Lefly. It is estimated that Washington will be traded. Such an excellent forward player, he can also get the bargaining chips he wants. Next season, the Mavericks' defense will be even more terrifying. Flag is 2.06 meters tall in shoes, plus the 2.08 meters Davis and Lefly 2.16 meters. The Mavericks' frame protection will be very good, and these three move abilities are very good, which also makes it difficult for the Mavericks' defense to be targeted.

Next, let's take a look at his scout report: Flag is one of the most comprehensive new players in recent years. He led the team in high school with a record of 33 wins and 0 losses. He was elected as the best male athlete in the United States at the age of 15, and the youngest player in history to win the honor. Flag is not only talented, but also has good skills. His strength and confrontation are excellent, his balance and coordination are also very good, he bounces at the top, his movements are also smooth, he is good at offense and defense conversion and air operations, and his projection ability is also extremely reliable.

He is very aggressive in impacting the basket, and he has won many free throws in college. Moreover, Flag's style of play is very selfless, his ball handling ability is also top-notch, and his defensive potential is also great. He is single defense, assisted defense, sweeping, stealing and blocking are all top-notch. His defensive awareness and defensive skills are very outstanding. Of course, he also has shortcomings. His ball control level is not top-notch, which is a criticism of many forwards. It can be solved through training in the future. Although the offense is comprehensive, there is no stable killer. The strength may be lacking in playing the No. 4 position.

Everyone has seen his strengths and weaknesses. It can be said that his weaknesses can be made up for, not the unchangeable shortcomings such as body shape or athletic ability. Therefore, he has great potential and has almost no shortcomings, which makes him the biggest favorite of the No. 1 pick. Famous speaker Skip also commented on Flag. He said: Flag will become the white player closest to Bird, and the Mavericks will be the Thunder's biggest threat next season.
