Good luck to him!

Great season for Fears, crazy for a kid that reclassified and got into the thick of it in SEC play and found his footing down the stretch. Will be incredible to watch him continue to develop as a player, he is going to do really well at the next level.

Who do you think was/is more hyped? Zion or Flagg?

There was a great Jay Bilas snippet on this.

Basically said that Flagg is the most complete Freshman player he has ever seen.

Zion was like combining two freak athletes together. (forgot the 2 he mentioned)

going into the draft zion is more hyped because of his highlights and his 1 of 1 skill set ...

but Flagg is a more complete player I see no world where he is not at least a 10 year starter and borderline all star .. (as his baseline minimum)

I think his upside is multi time All NBA type player ..

I agree. Zion was a freak athlete with immense skills but not the complete package (plus Flagg is 3 inches taller at least) like Flagg is.

I agree. The hype for Flagg is deserved. Maybe more athletic players have come through, but he is the basketball version of a 5 tool player. Not sure there are many holes in his game, especially for his age. Zion was just an athletic freak, but not a real polished basketball player. He's what I think of LeBron would have been in college had he went.

On the other hand, Flagg is a complete player as I have seen in a long time at the college level, both from a skill level and the intangibles.

I will say, I think Zion had way more hype though.

The two were Lou Ferrigno and Spud Webb combined.
