An ex-Lakers star puts some important criteria for a team when deciding between Dylan Harper and Cooper Flagg.

Danny Green shared his insights on who he would draft between Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper for the 2025 NBA Draft. Green emphasized that the decision depends on team needs and position. He stated that if a team needs a point guard, Harper would be his pick, while if a team needs a wing or small forward, he would go with Flagg. Green’s perspective highlights the importance of drafting based on positional requirements.

Additionally, Green discussed his thoughts on the 2020 Lakers team during an interview with Brandon Robinson. He expressed regret that the Lakers weren’t able to keep the championship roster together, which, in his view, hurt their chances of repeating as champions. He believes that had the team remained intact, they could have won a second title, although he was uncertain about a three-peat. Green reminisced about the team’s dominance in the Orlando Bubble, where they triumphed over the Miami Heat in the Finals to secure the championship.
