The dude is playing out of position, and even if we agree that's a good move in the long run (not sure I do, but it might be), we need to be patient as he literally reinvents his game on the highest level in basketball. I cannot believe folks here are turning on him already. If people expected him to be able to play PG competently right out of the gate...IN THE NBA...that says more about those people than it does about Flagg.
I just look at the stats of Giannis in his rookie season to keep everything in perspective. He was half a year older and ended the year with 6.8 points, 4.4 boards, 1.9 assists, 0.8 blocks, 0.8 steals on 41% shooting. With the exception of blocks that’s all the same or less than Cooper is averaging in his first weeks in the league with lots of opportunities to get better this season. And because Kidd forced Giannis to handle the ball he became the special player he is.
