Cooper Flagg not only made the U17 Team USA World Cup team at 15 years old, he was a big time contributor averaging 9.3ppg, 10.0rpg, 1.9apg, 2.4spg, 2.9bpg in only 19.3 minutes a game over 7 games. He wasn’t efficient only shooting 41% from the floor, but he found ways to do many positive things on the court. It will be interesting to see if he reclassifies and tries to move up to the 2025 draft, as his birthday is in December. He seems to be ahead of schedule and recently dropped 52 points in an AAU game.
That is pretty impressive stuff, but Cameron Boozer plays much older than he is as well. He’s very accomplished averaging 18.9ppg, 10.9rpg, 4.0apg, 2.2bpg, 1.6spg as a freshman while shooting 64% from the floor, 78% from the line, and 28-70 from three 40% on good solid volume. He led his high school team to the State 7A championship as a freshman over a team with players committed to Kansas, Mississippi State, and Florida with the help of his brother Cayden Boozer who is also in our top 20. They are the young phenom sons of Carlos Boozer of Duke and NBA fame. You feel pretty good where there are NBA genetics in the line already even projecting out this far, when they are performing like that. There is of course another famous player we have at the end of the draft Bryce James. Given some time to grown into his body and you might see him move up the board.
