"Looking at Flagg relative to his peers, it’s amazing how far ahead of the pack he is as a playmaker. He took on a huge usage burden and generated boatloads of assists while still managing to play a largely mistake-free level of basketball. Again, he did this despite turning 18 in December. Flagg’s willingness to win with the basics, paired with an ability to make advanced reads, is an ideal base for a jumbo playmaker. Usually, this level of vision at a young age comes with some occasional nonsense—the “too much dip on his chip,” overly adventurous type of plays that plagued guards like Kasparas Jakucionis in this class. Flagg avoids those pitfalls. As he develops, he’ll surely improve his handle. When those improvements come, things will be downright scary for opposing defenses. Flagg came into college heralded for his defense, and rightfully so, but his offensive skill package is absolutely ridiculous. This level of scoring and playmaking, in tandem, is outrageous for a young player this size."
