He sees things on the floor that not a ton of young players see. Add this to his height and I think he is interesting. I am not sure how much he plays next year, but I do think it is best for his development of him being around the NBA speed and quickness. It is a learning curve but there is only one way to learn from it.
That's really the thing, it's very difficult to project how fast or slowly players are gonna pickup things and incorporate them into their games. Some do it quickly, some slowly, some obviously go nowhere and never really develop aspects of their game at all. It's also hard to know how much is ideal to expose players to playing time wise for their development. Too little they don't get that developmental experience that's required, too much and you can overwhelm them and destroy their confidence. Like Flagg being given the PG duties, it was so rough that it's likely to kill the confidence of the majority of NBA rookies, perhaps even permanently, but certain special characters it does the opposite.
