LAS VEGAS – Cooper Flagg’s sequence against the U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team had more than the Internet buzzing with hyperbolic praise.

Those inside the gym – which included Olympians, future Hall of Famers, NBA and college coaches and team executives – where the scrimmage took place raved about Flagg’s performance for the U.S. select team during three days of practice and scrimmages with the U.S. Olympic team.

He made a 3-pointer over All-NBA Defense selection Anthony Davis and on the next possession, he had a putback plus an and-one over Bam Adebayo, another All-Defense performer. He also made another 3-pointer against Davis and connected on a short turnaround jumper over Jrue Holiday, yet another All-Defense selection this season.

And Flagg is just 17 years old.
