Mark Cuban on Cooper Flagg and where he can play:

“I’d send a text to J-Kidd, point guard, point guard, point guard, let him bring the ball up…”

Talks about a lineup of:

- Cooper Flagg
- Klay Thompson
- P.J. Washington
- Anthony Davis
- Dereck Lively II or Daniel Gafford

Says the Mavs are “going to have the biggest team in the NBA.”

Sounds like a least one person is seeing the vision that I have been talking about.

It's not CF being a traditional PG (much less the Luka-style ball domination almost every possession), but instead in an offense where they push the pace, and the ball is shared (bringing it up the floor looks very different when the ball is passed up the floor instead of the rebound passed backwards to a designated player who will deliberately pound it every time), and the offense can go through anyone, not just one specific person.

I think they do want a "PG" type, but frankly they may have a bigger need for efficient shooting to spread the floor. Or, if they can dunk the ball half the time, then maybe not so much.
