I am scared that of all the comparisons for Flagg we might be willingly missing the most accurate one…

I don’t think I am there yet by any means, but it is a definite possibility in the outcome of his career. Especially in this environment

Outside of white and 6'9"/6'10" i'm not sure we can compare these two YET.  Van Horn spent four years in college and was 22 when he entered the league. So its like going back to Van Horn's freshman college season and looking at highlights to compare.

People have to remember that Flagg re-classified and moved up a year. He really should be in his freshman season at Duke right now. But he's in the NBA, starting OUT OF POSITION at point guard averaging 13, 6, and 3. 

Admittedly, i thought we'd see more out of him. But i think we're forgetting how young he is. Playing as a 6'9" point guard without a real point guard on the roster is causing him to look out of sync.  I still have no idea what his ceiling is or how good he is, but i'm just guessing.. Keith Van Horn is probably the floor not the ceiling.  But Van Horn wasnt a bad player, especially early on.
