While Duke freshman Cooper Flagg is widely considered the best draft-eligible prospect in college basketball, one NBA executive is going to maintain "an open mind about who the No. 1 pick might be."
"This is how mistakes are made: getting anchored to an opinion and then closing yourself off to new, much more important information that we'll be receiving in the coming months seeing how the season plays out," the executive said to ESPN's Jonathan Givony.
"I need to see if Cooper Flagg is indeed a No. 1-type offensive option who can be expected to carry a team at some point in his career, or if he's more of a superstar role player who is better suited as your second- or third-best player.
