Not exactly an objective view point. There is no question Flagg is going #1 unless he tries to leverage his situation to dictate which team he wants to play for. I haven't seen any evidence he would try to do that.

Wow! If he’s right, how does he explain last season’s record with them and their G Leaguer (NIL) teammates. Yikes!

Theoretically, I could see Harper going first if the position of need is a PG.

Between Ace and Flagg, however, I would think Flagg would go first.

The only way I see Ace going before either of the other two, is based on his entertainment value and his potential.

He can be a little bit of a BS artist at times, especially in his pre season evaluations.
Exactly, when he gets on a roll with Pike Speak you can see his nose grow. He is going to tell us how Francis is the best scorer he’s ever had and sell us that crap again how Ogbole can leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Flagg is the national sensation. The Flagg bearer for the future of the NBA and the only decision a team can make.

Pike knows and as usual is just blowing smoke.

If Ace gets on a good team with penetrators/ball movers he’ll be good out of the gate in the NBA, but…

It’s funny that anyone thinks he should say no, when a question is asked of a coach whether his players could go over another team’s player.

What is your definition of bust?
Personally anything around 38th and the D league.

If DH or AB is the #1 pick, then it's a complete embarrassment that Pike didn't get this team to the NCAA.
