Is good. Really, really good.
Haven't seen a white player with his size play with his style before. And yes, I'm white. It's not about race, of course, but I'm just being honest. Larry Bird didn't have this type of athletic ability. Heck, Kevin Durant doesn't either.
Very entertaining player to watch.

You must’ve never watched KD before his Achilles injury

This kid may be a bit quicker. At least laterally. And has a 40 inch vert.
I know Kevin Durant was a lofty comparison but they do seem to have somewhat similar styles.
The point is he reminds me more of a Durant than a Bird.

Flagg is special special I haven’t seen a complete player like him in a long time. Just saying Texas/OKC KD was an absolute freak

As I said, Durant was very lofty comparison.
But Flagg could very well get to that level.

Was Jerry West 6'10 with a 7 foot wingspan and 40 inch vert?

Lol. There have undoubtedly been very athletic white basketball players. Jason Williams being a personal favorite.
But Flagg seems like a different breed.

the next level. Duke just uses a little different but remember just a FR at Duke - if he was forced to play 3 years at Duke they may start using him different depending on who else is on their roster. He definitely has all the tools.

about anything. Obviously Magic was better but Hardaway played for about 15 years in the league and was 4 time all star, multiple NBA, Olympics. The guy was good in his prime. My guess Flagg ends up with a NBA career somewhere between those 2 players but time will tell. I think Flagg can play point/shooting guard/forward flex position in NBA.

I might have to watch the NBA game when he's playing. Ghesh. That old fashioned 3 reverse lay-up in the first half was miraculous.

Takes a lot of luck to have a good NBA career though. Hopefully he is surrounded by the right agents and organizations.
