It sounds like, as FGump has been pushing, they're hoping he can play PG a lot, and early. I get the hope part, and wondered about that right after the lottery win happened, but man is there going to be a ton of pressure on him to do that on a team full of great players who all want to win and clearly can't win without great initiation. It could work, but...phew...it's interesting. 

Luka had played PG a lot before coming here. Flagg hasn't, really. Some at Duke, yes, but that was one season. 

Still, I think the way the game is going, you need a 6'6"-6'9" playmaker running your offense, so he'll probably end up there eventually in the best, most heralded version of his career. It's going to be an interesting season. Can't wait!

Looking forward to it. I liked Kidd's response that he wants to make Flagg uncomfortable and see how he responds to failure, the same way he did by putting the ball in Giannis's hands early on. I'd much rather that be the plan, than putting any kind of cap on his potential growth in the name of winning a few more games in the regular season this year.
