Game 36: HOU (21-10) @ DAL (12-23)

[Winter]

I mean the OP argued that it "worked" because they won the game.  I'm skeptical that this organization is currently trying to lose games, and from the context of winning games it obviously does not work, even considering last nights outcome.

As for the development angle, I really don't see Flagg as the next Giannis.  I think he will always be best off ball as a secondary creator.  Using last nights game as an example, he had no assists and two turnovers as the "PG" but had 6 assists and no turnovers when playing off ball.  My opinion is that he is better off learning the role he will likely be playing in the future in a functional offense than the shitshow we see when there is no legit PG on the court.

When you phrase it like that, I am too. 

I would say, however, that winning the game isn't the current focus every night. That's more how I see it. If you take winning out, there are a lot of ways to experiment with the lineup without sacrificing anything. There's a lot of data to be gleaned from trying different things.

As for the second paragraph, I don't have a strong opinion. I'm not sure I can project what is best for Flagg at this point.
