“S–t, I wanna come back next year.” Cooper Flagg set fire to the college basketball landscape with these words. The six-foot-nine freshman from Maine is having a standout year, and is a front-runner for NPOY honors. Not only that, analysts have him going at #1 in this year’s NBA draft. So why should he come back?
Well, according to ESPN, there are a few solid reasons. On the show Countdown to GameDay, analyst and ex-NBA player Quentin Richardson discussed the seemingly impossible scenario for Flagg.
The Washington Wizards have the worst record in the league as of now, and as a pure business decision? It makes sense to tank. Cooper Flagg has been touted as one of the best prospects in college basketball history, and everyone wants a piece. But according to Richardson, it might be a situation in which Flagg should think about staying.
When asked what he would do in Cooper Flagg’s shoes, Quentin Richardson dropped an absolute bombshell. “I would stay. With the landscape, what it is now, and the money he can make? Knowing that I’m looking at going to Washington?… I’m not sure that would be the worst thing for me.” With NIL deals peaking, turning student-athletes into millionaires, his words make sense!
