Patrick&rsquo;s comments came while talking about college basketball prodigy Cooper Flagg. The Duke Blue Devils star is a hot name in the current collegiate basketball scenario. Projected to be the number one pick in the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>NBA<\/a> 2025 drafts, Flagg has simply been unstoppable for his side.&nbsp;<\/p><p>With less than three months to go for 2025 Draft, Flagg has received high praises from players and pundits, including from Dan Patrick. In the latest episode of Dan Patrick Show, the veteran sportscaster, while praising the 18-year-old, took a jab at Miami Heat&rsquo;s veteran forward Kevin Love.<\/p><p>Patrick said, <em>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s really aware of getting everybody involved and it makes them a better team. He&rsquo;s not as aggressive as he&rsquo;s going to be in the NBA. If you start to look at player comps, automatically you&rsquo;re going to go to a white guy who&rsquo;s 6&rsquo;8&rdquo; or so now listed at 6&rsquo;9&rdquo;. But is he a Larry Bird type of player?&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p><p>Patrick further remarked that if Flagg&rsquo;s career were to resemble that of Kevin Love&rsquo;s, it might be considered a disappointment.<\/p><p>He added, <em>&ldquo;If you said his career was going to be like Kevin LS would that be a disappointment. And it probably would be because this is somebody who scrimmaged against the Olympic team.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\"If you said his career was going to be like Kevin Love's, would that be a disappointment?
