Even as he builds his own future, Coby has a sharp eye on the game’s next wave. Starting with Cooper Flagg, Duke’s phenom. “I think he’s better than advertised to me… no matter who he’s on the court with he has that ability to raise his level of play.” White admires more than the talent — he respects the mindset. “He’s all about basketball, he’s all about the right things… he knows what goes into winning and he’s done it at every level.” And when it comes to Rutgers’ Dylan Harper, Coby’s equally impressed. “He’s a big guard, physical, gets downhill, lefty and can shoot it… buzzer beaters, you name it.” White sees in Harper what matters most in today’s NBA: “He plays at a helluva pace for how young he is… has a high [basketball] IQ… and he’s talented.” -via ScoopB.com / April 15, 2025

Those attributes have made the six-foot-nine Duke Blue Devils star the most NBA-ready prospect in this year’s class, because of the scope of his talent. It’s why the 18-year-old Flagg is a deadbolt lock to be drafted No. 1 on June 25. “I don’t know if there’s a flaw in his game,” an NBA scout told the Star, granted anonymity because the underclassman Flagg has not officially declared for the draft. “Doesn’t matter what position you call him, he has bits of all of them.” -via Toronto Star / April 7, 2025
