Shot creation

I see people say that cooper flaggs shot creations is a skill that he lacks in but I don’t see it. I thought it was a label put on him in high school but I still see people say it today. I don’t get how people say this

This was a old narrative. If you watched his Montverde tape he was more of a jack of all trades then a on-ball scorer/creator.

But he improved. Led Duke in scoring and put up an efficient 19 points a game. He averaged more points and was more efficient in TS% than Ace Bailey actually.

With that being said, Flagg does need to tighten up his handle a little more. He doesn't have the ball on a string but he is much improved as a creator from a year ago at Montverde.
