Column: Cooper Flagg is not the next Zion Williamson — expect a different type of impact

Flagg is widely projected to follow in Williamson’s footsteps by being selected first overall in next year’s NBA Draft, even before he’s played a single official minute of college basketball. Yet, the comparisons between Flagg and Williamson should end there. Not only are they two completely distinct players, but each arrived in Durham under wildly different circumstances.

Perhaps underreported in an analysis of memorable days is the gritty effort Tyrese Proctor and Foster, starting together for the first time this preseason, put in to make Sunday such a rousing Blue Devil win in more ways than one. They weren’t as flashy as Maluach or Knueppel were, but for a duo that may start every game this season, their mature performance — especially on defense — was everything Scheyer could have asked for.
