Also Amen Thompson is going to be a stud and is really young, but he is 3 years older than Flagg.
Also AD is 6 years older than Luka but Luka is 8 years older than Flagg. Crazy how things change.
I know man, it's awesome.
They can afford to go hard to compete for these next 2-3 years, and if it works, great. If not, Flagg will still benefit greatly from being around that type of team right out of the gate. Then, he'll be right about the age of a usual rookie, only with tons of good experience (including multiple playoff series, hopefully). As long as they don't mortgage the future too much and leave themselves with no usable draft capital at that point, this situation is a dream, basically.
