Cooper Flagg has at least three more years before he sets foot on an NBA court, but as early as now, he already has run-ins with some pros.
The 16-year-old, ranked the third-best prospect from the class of 2025, participated in Jayson Tatum's summer camp, also graced by Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal.
Also present in the camp was former Boston Celtics center Brian Scalabrini who shared about how good Flagg was that he got Beal's ire.
"I heard a rumor that my boy Cooper Flagg was at Jayson Tatum's camp, and he was busting Brad Beal 1-on-1, and Brad Beal got mad at him. Started cussing him out," White Mamba said.

"This dude is a major trash-talker."
Scalabrini also detailed the 1-on-1 battle between the two.
"The rumor is that Brad Beal and him were squaring off 1-on-1 and Brad Beal was taking it lightly," he added. "It's a high school kid. Then Cooper started giving it to him. And I guess the rumor is, Cooper started talking trash and Bradley Beal got mad. Really mad."
This moment should have a video soon.
