I just feel there is something off for me with him at 9. I see his shot and it looks smooth. He has good size and solid athleticism. Seems to be a team player. Something is just pushing me away from him at 9 for me. Could be because I didn't watch him much. I mean I have him in a group of three who I think will probably be there at 9, but he is probably 3 of 3 for me at the moment.
I would prefer Ament over him. I do think that I am underestimating him because nothing about him screams ‘wow’ or gives you the hope that you would have a future beast on your team and I want to take some chances with this pick.
However , I didn’t think Flagg would be a great scorer. Shows what I know. I did say though the first time I saw Flagg hitting a left handed floater in the clutch , that I had not seen many veterans ever doing that.
Similarly Burries can shoot and finish very creatively in transition. Those two things combined are rare. You usually get one or the other.
