PJ is not a SF, but I am no where close saying him and Flagg cannot thrive next to each other. I am also no where close saying Flagg is best as a PF.
The Mavs are playing at a faster pace and the ball movement is much better. PJ should be able to thrive playing at this place and passes right in the shooters pocket. He just needs to defer a little on creation. We will see how they fit, but I think playing with a passing point guard is going to get him some great looks both at the three and in the lane. I think he could fit in better than Marshall playing with Nemby and others.
I think it is important not to pigeonhole Flagg. I think there is a good chance he is better as a pure wing than a PF his first few years in the league. The teams like Houston, SA, Denver and OKC have a lot of big bodies. I think he is going to be really tough for smaller players to defend. He should be tough for all players eventually to defend. That is the benefit of his versatility.
