SL Game 2: DAL vs SA @ 3:00cst on ESPN

Agree

The Mavs are using him as a primary playmaker.  That's not his game.   Right now, as an 18yr old, he's a bigger Andre Iguodala or more skilled Aaron Gordon.  

Playing wing and having more offensive responsibility might be good for his long term development but I think he is going to struggle this year if that's the role he is asked the play.   As a 4, I think he can be an impact player right away.

I don't know, man. I totally agree it's ridiculous to imagine them running their offense through him completely on day 1. If he were ready for that, this offense against summer leaguers wouldn't look so painfully difficult. 

But, I think he's shown much more potential to be a secondary playmaker than almost anyone on the Mavs not named Kyrie or Russell. I think he can play wing for a while, to see if it's right for him. I don't think that's going to "stunt" him long term, or anything. Hell, they tried to make Dirk a 3 for quite a while, and he didn't look anywhere near as high basketball IQ as Flagg does.
