I think what people are referring to with PJW/Flagg is how they both (along with Davis) seem to want to operate from the elbow in. Mix in Gafford, Cisse, Lively, etc, and you’ve got as many as 4 players at a time (usually 3 - PJW, Flagg and Davis) all looking to get inside(ish). That’s not a bad thing, but it can be if the guys don’t know how to play together with a sense of synergy. What makes it a little more problematic is that none of them is a particularly good outside shooter, so, even when they understand when to press the issue and when to create space for each other, they’re not actually creating much space for each other.

I’m not ready to say PJW and flagg can’t play together, but I do think there’s something to the thought process of putting shooters around flag when possible to free him up inside.
