Cooper Flagg Commits To Duke

[Wagerallsports]

Not American but they are the 2 best players in the NBA currently

Luka Doncic & Nikola Jokic

However, I think white Europeans pursue & take basketball more seriously that white Americans

I think you're talking about light-skinned Americans. Some of the #2 Draft picks:
*Keith van Horn
*Shawn Bradley
*Danny Ferry
*Steve Stipanovich

Kevin McHale and Rick Robey went #3.

Amazingly, I think I found the answer in 1977:

...Kent Benson!

Correct!

Cooper’s one of the best high school basketball players I’ve ever seen both sides of the ball

Not a ton of basketball talent in Maine.

I hate Dook. Then again, I was born/raised in Chapel Hill. It's in the water.

Copper the real deal

Duke is going to be insane this season. Easy pick to win the National Championship.

I don’t know how they lose with this kid. He’s a professional right now and an All-Star.

Exactly. It'll be a disappointment if they don't win every game by 20 or more.

He’s an NBA player right now

No doubt he'll be the first pick in the draft if he comes out next year. The Olympic team couldn't guard him
