Mumbai, April 7: Cooper Flagg continues to impress in the NBA, drawing comparisons to Andrei Kirilenko, known as AK-47, at the season’s start. Initially, many expected Flagg to follow in Kirilenko’s footsteps as a defensive powerhouse. However, he has proven to be much more.
Flagg has not only excelled defensively but has also emerged as a formidable offensive player. In his last two games, he scored an impressive 96 points, shooting 57.8% from the field with 33 of 57 attempts. His three-point shooting has been equally remarkable, hitting 8 of 15 for 53.3%.
On Sunday night, Flagg followed up his 51-point game against Orlando with a near triple-double performance against the Los Angeles Lakers, tallying 45 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists. He has become the first rookie to achieve back-to-back 40-point games since Allen Iverson did so in 1997.
As the season approaches its conclusion, Flagg is in a heated Rookie of the Year race against his former Duke teammate, Kon Knueppel. His recent performances are a perfect way to cap off an impressive rookie season.
