By now, it is no secret that the Brooklyn Nets' front office is on a tank patrol this season as they try to capture the (Cooper) Flagg. The Nets have sold off a fair amount of their better player contracts to other ball clubs around the NBA, and are poised to compete for a top lottery pick as a result, with the franchise controlling their own pick in this coming summer's draft.

With all of the (totally justified) hype around the incoming Duke wunderkind training the eyes of every front office in the league in the direction of wherever Flagg takes the court, it makes all the sense in the world for the Nets to try to draft him. And with their own pick and a bevy of first round picks from other teams at their disposal, it is not out of the question that they might.

What is his game like, and how might it translate to the next level? Would he be a good fit with the players on Brooklyn's roster? The hosts of the "Locked on Nets" podcast, Adam Armbrecht and Doug Norrie, did their best to analyze the situation on a recent episode. Check it out below!
