French Cooper Flagg

Do you want the French Cooper Flagg?
Noa Essengue, pick #11, went from B- defense to A- defense when I switched him from PF to SF after the draft, which would make him the best defender in this class--even better than Flagg who is noted as a historically great wing defender prospect!
Better yet, the comparisons get a bit freakier... Flagg was the lowest B inside prospect in the class, Essengue was the highest B- inside (amongst quite a few so he must be right on the cusp!). He has C+ outside same as Flagg, C+ rebounding (was quite a bit higher in the draft file in rebounding), A pot and is 19 years old (same as flagg in this universe).
His combine stats were pretty insane averaging over 3+ steals per 36.
Compare for yourself!
Noa Essengue (French and has a sick afro) SF 19 6'10'' 200 B- C+ C- A- C+ A
Cooper Flagg (from Maine) SF 19 6'9'' 205 B C+ C+ B+ C+ A
The difference? Flagg has higher passing, worse defense, and a tad higher inside at the moment.
Would trade Noa for a win now star!
