You mean to tell me that you of all people need the new coach to tell you that PJW is an excellent fit next to Coop? Naji? Gafford? I don't believe that to be true. I don't see you needing to know which coach is in place, what scheme he prefers, to form your own opinions going forward.
I just want to know what they're trying to accomplish, so that the thought experiment part doesn't feel like throwing time down a black hole of emptiness, yes.
Playing Flagg above the break with the ball is completely different than how I'd use him, and requires completely different players around him. The plan dictates about 90% of this conversation, to my way of thinking.
