But, Allen said he isn’t seeing anything in his skill set that would place him amongst the elite in the NBA. “I ain’t seeing [Kevin Durant]. I’m just not seeing all that,” Allen said. “I’m seeing Andrei Kirilenko, bro.” Kirilenko, whom Allen compared Flagg to, made an All-Star team in 2004 and was a first-team All-Defensive selection in 2006. He played more than a decade in the NBA, mostly with the Utah Jazz. He was a late first-round pick who wound up averaging 11.8 points per game in his career. Kirilenko had a lengthy and successful career both in the NBA, and overseas, but the expectations surrounding a potential No. 1 overall pick are different. “He’s going to be a one-time All-Star,” Allen said. “I don’t see it. I’m just not hyped on these Duke kids. Look at the couple that came out, besides Jayson Tatum.”
