Unlocking the Future: Shocking NBA Legend Look-Alikes in the 2025 Draft Class Revealed!
Though the 6-foot-9 swingman is the consensus No. 1 pick all but assured to be headed to Dallas in next week’s draft, calling him the next Dirk or Luka is a little lazy.
Flagg has drawn comparisons to Scottie Pippen, Kawhi Leonard, Jayson Tatum, Andrei Kirilenko and Lamar Odom, just to name a few. However, for the most part, those comps are opinions built through playing styles, personal experiences and the eye test.
In order to get away from those biases, we’ve built an NBA Draft model that generates comparisons based on how important certain features are in a player’s projection, not necessarily that they play similar styles. So for example, if Flagg’s defensive DRIP (a player’s projected contribution to a team’s plus/minus per 100 possessions) is a really important feature in his projection, players with similar D-DRIP values are going to rate higher among his comps.
