00:03 - He literally could carry them to a national championship

00:05 in the one year that he's at Duke.

00:07 That's how good Cooper Flagg is.

00:08 Like, Coach, no one can stop him.

00:11 I mean, he plays against all these guys everywhere

00:14 and humiliates them.

00:15 Look at those odds.

00:17 I like those odds and I like your Alabama pick too.

00:20 I mean, they're lethal.

00:21 It's hard to get back.

00:23 I believe there's a tremendous amount

00:25 of difficulty getting back.

00:27 Now, it's one thing to have a loaded team

00:30 that like UConn had, and then I think Alabama has.

00:34 So I don't doubt your pick at all.

00:37 I think the teams that we're talking about here

00:38 in this bundle of teams that we just mentioned,

00:41 obviously they're all very strong teams,

00:43 but I actually think that this kid is so special

00:46 that he could win a national championship

00:48 his first time playing college basketball.

00:51 - Well, I'll tell you what, Pharrell,

00:53 it'll be his only year playing college basketball.

00:55 The Cooper flag is gonna be the top pick

00:57 in the 2025 NBA draft.

00:59 And Duke is an intriguing team

01:01 because I like what John Shire has done now.

01:05 Okay?

01:06 There's a combination of experience, right?

01:08 With Proctor and Foster coming back, right?

01:12 You go get Cooper flag and you go get the other guy,

01:15 can't pronounce the name, I think it's Malyuk,

01:19 who should be a top five pick in the NBA draft as well.

01:23 But then they go get Brown out of Syracuse, right?

01:26 Malyuk Brown out of Syracuse,

01:28 about a 10-point game score.

01:29 But then they start getting like role guys, right?

01:33 The James kid out of Tulane is a scorer.

01:38 And don't sleep on Mason Gillis.

01:42 See, folks, he goes to Duke.

01:44 He already was a sixth man at Purdue.

01:47 So now when he goes to Duke,

01:49 he doesn't have to try and be something that he's not.

01:53 He just switches teams, but with the same role.

01:57 Stretch four, toughness, defense, knockdowns and threes.

02:02 I think they're intriguing.

02:04 When you look at a team like Kansas,

02:06 obviously you look at the fact that Harris comes back, right?

02:09 Adams comes back.

02:12 Dickinson comes back.

02:14 They pick up this kid, Zeke Mayo,

02:16 from South Dakota State.

02:18 If you don't know about him, kid's a bucket.

02:20 Go to Ryland Griffin, right?

02:23 Out of Alabama.

02:25 But then A.J. Storr.

02:28 This kid is another one, Pharrell.

02:32 Listen, in that offense, right?

02:35 In that offense that they run, right?

02:38 Which is in the Wisconsin offense forever,

02:43 under Bo Ryan, and now under Greg Gardner.

02:46 This kid was getting you 17 points a game

02:49 and shooting 43, 44% from the floor.

02:51 (upbeat music)

02:54 (bells chiming)
