Everybody can have their own opinion...my agrument for this being a good learning experience is that it puts him into new situations that require diffenrent skills than in college. Improving these exact skills exact will help him transition to the NBA competition.

We'll see what Kidd does with Flagg one Kyrie returns, but there should still be enough games until then. So my thinking on this was that for Flagg Kyrie's injury at least opened the opportunity for him to further develop his guard skills. Take the good with the bad.

I guess I'm not sure why he wouldn't learn just as much being a secondary creator next to a PG in a functional offense?

My opinion is that for a kid who should be playing in his first college basketball game, playing in the NBA is a massive adjustment and he has plenty of learning to do without the unnecessary complication of playing completely out of position.
