Cooper Flagg Called 'Generational' by Wake Forest HC, On 'Level' of Durant, Kawhi

Wake Forest head coach Steve Forbes had high praise for Duke freshman Cooper Flagg following the Blue Devils' 63-56 win over the Deacons on Saturday.

Forbes called Flagg "generational" when speaking to reporters after the loss.

"He can score off the bounce, he can score off the catch, he can post you up, he can score in transition, he's gonna play a long time in the NBA," he added.

Forbes also compared Flagg to standout forwards that he previously coached against at the college level, listing Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant and Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard.
