Yuck.

PJW in certain matchups is more than capable on the perimeter. Someone on twitter put out a poll on who would guard SGA the most, then who would guard Luka the most, etc., and the overwhelming answer was PJ, rightfully so. 

Now, would smaller players give him more trouble, sure. Would I want him playing all ~30 minutes in that role? No. But he's more than capable and has shown to be a positive guarding those types. 

Offensively, his drive game is okay, with the go-to floater, and he shot 38% from three, which is more than respectable at over 4 attempts per game. He needs to tighten up his handle, but I'm perfectly fine with him attacking closeouts.


I'm not going to put a limit on what Flagg can or can't do just yet. If the experts are throwing out Tatum and Bird as comps, we'll just have to wait and see.
