Cooper Flagg on Kon Knueppel: ‘We don’t talk about Rookie of the Year at all’
Cooper Flagg and Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel were teammates at Duke and remain locked in a race for the NBA’s Rookie of the Year award. Asked postgame whether he and Knueppel talk about it, Flagg was quick to shut it down. “No, we don’t talk about Rookie of the Year at all.
Not at all,” Flagg said. “But I’ve definitely kept in touch with him throughout the whole year. That’s one of my brothers, and he’ll be one of my best friends the rest of my life.
We’ve stayed connected and shared thoughts on things we see in our own individual games and try to help each other out as much as possible. That brotherhood and relationship is never going to die. ” Dallas Hoops Journal This article originally appeared on Hoops Hype: Cooper Flagg on Kon Knueppel: ‘We don’t talk about Rookie of the Year at all’
