For anyone who thinks there are question marks on what Flagg will be, and how long we have to wait to see that, you need to listen to this interview.

Leger has been following and evaluating Flagg for a LONG time, and thinks he will be HUGE right away. He won't be as good on day 1 as he will become, as he learns the NBA and its nuances, but he's going to be REALLY good. In general he thinks Flaggs shot will need to get better, but he sees his defense as ready and potentially great.

One of the things you pick up reading the biographical sketches is how long he has been groomed for NBA stardom.

Not only did he go to all the right places (Monteverde Academy, Nike's Peach Jam, Duke), he was the one of the best players on the court from day one at each of those places. While most scouts aren't sure where his ceiling is, nearly all them know where his floor is - as an NBA starter.

By all accounts, he is social, unselfish, and a quick study. If there was ever a time to win the lottery, this was the year.
