Okay, so the other day, I kept hearing the name Cooper Flagg. Young basketball phenom, right? Everyone’s talking about him. It got me curious, like, what are this kid’s actual numbers? You hear the hype, but sometimes you just wanna see the stats on paper, you know?
So, I figured I’d take a look myself. Fired up the old computer, opened a browser. My first search was pretty basic, just typed in “cooper flagg stats”.
Honestly, the first results were kinda all over the place. Lots of recruiting news, articles hyping him up, rankings… which is cool, but not exactly the hard numbers I was after right then. Some sites had some stats, but it felt incomplete, maybe outdated.
Digging a Bit Deeper
I realized I needed to be more specific. Where did he play most recently? Ah yeah, Montverde Academy. So I tried searching for “Cooper Flagg Montverde stats”. That helped narrow things down a bit. Started seeing some high school season averages.
Then I remembered he played in that EYBL circuit too, the summer league thing. Added “EYBL stats” to my search. Found some box scores and tournament averages from those games. It took clicking through a few different sports sites, you know, the usual suspects like ESPN and those recruiting hubs. No single place had everything neatly laid out, which is always a little annoying.
Also remembered he played for Team USA, right? That FIBA U17 tournament where he really blew up. So, searched for “Cooper Flagg FIBA U17 stats”. That pulled up his international numbers. Comparing those stats across different levels of competition was kinda interesting.
What I Found (Roughly)
After poking around for maybe 15-20 minutes, I started piecing together a picture. Didn’t write down exact decimals or anything, but here’s the gist of what I recall seeing for his recent high school/AAU/international play:
- Points: Consistently high scorer, often looked like he was averaging well over 20 points per game, especially in high school and AAU.
- Rebounds: Strong rebounder, definitely double-digit potential pretty often. Seemed like around 10-12 rebounds wasn’t unusual.
- Blocks: This was maybe the most eye-popping thing. The block numbers were wild. Often saw averages cited in the 4-6 blocks per game range, sometimes even higher in specific tourneys. Crazy defensive presence.
- Assists: Decent assist numbers too, showing he’s not just a scorer. Maybe around 4-5 assists per game?
- Steals: Good hands on defense, usually grabbing a couple of steals per game.
Overall Impression: The stats definitely back up a lot of the hype. He fills the stat sheet in pretty much every category. It’s not just scoring; it’s the rebounding, the crazy shot-blocking, the passing. Seems like a genuine two-way impact player.
You know, looking up stats like this reminds me of when I used to collect basketball cards as a kid. Always flipping them over to compare points and rebounds. It’s funny how some things stick with you. Anyway, just wanted to share what I found when I went down that little rabbit hole. It’s impressive stuff for a guy that young.
