To me this video is an EXTREME exaggeration of the negative, examining every possession to cherry-pick the details for anything less than perfection (as if any player can play perfect iso defense on every possession against good offensive players). We'll see, but I bet we will be more than happy with Flagg's chops on defense as a Mav.
I agree with your analysis of HIS agenda for making the video, but it doesn’t seem like you’re understanding my motivation for posting it.
I like to endeavor to understand what happens on the court in basketball. I know that’s not everyone’s favorite part of the game or this community, but it’s the part that jazzes me the most. I think Flagg is so obviously a 4, and yes, he has some versatility as a switchable defender from that position, which makes him special. But using that versatility as an excuse to play him out of position, in my opinion, risks exposing him in ways that are unnecessary and potentially detrimental to his development.
