Don t let Flagg play point guard again! The Mavericks are playing with fire, boy, don t get ruined

So far in the new season, 10 games have passed, and the Mavericks have achieved 3 wins and 7 losses, temporarily ranking second from last! Regarding Flagg playing point guard, it’s time for the Mavericks to end this absurd experiment.

On November 9, the Mavericks defeated the Wizards 111-105 in an away game. Anthony Davis continued to be absent in this game. Lang Flagg, the 2025 No. 1 pick, played 33 minutes and 43 seconds, making 6 of 15 shots (0 of 2 three-pointers). He scored 12 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. He made 4 turnovers and had a plus-minus value of -2.

Flagg, who holds the title of Son of America, has so far averaged 13.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2.3 turnovers and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 40.3% from the field and 27% from three-point range!

3 assists: 2.3 turnovers. Peter felt that old Kidd should stop doing this and stop letting Flagg play point guard, otherwise the young man might lose his confidence.

Speaking of Flagg, considering his personal reputation and the strength of the university, he will be selected as the top pick in this year's draft without any doubt. But after coming to the Mavericks, considering that Irving needed a long time to recover from his injury, Kidd actually used a big man lineup and asked Flagg to try to play point guard. As a result, he was often intercepted by NBA opponents, and he shrank from playing.

Peter looked at the rookie rankings and found that Flagg's scoring average could only rank fifth, which was getting further and further away from the best rookie.

To be honest, the Mavericks might as well let Flagg play the wing forward position he is familiar with this year, giving him full power to fire and take full advantage.

Anyway, Anthony Davis has a glass constitution, so he should take a good rest this year. And Irving can only come back at the end of the regular season, so he might as well not come out at all and just take a year off.

The 18-year-old Flagg's personal talent is naturally overwhelming. He can only develop his abilities after one year of actual combat. In addition, the Mavericks this season may be able to get the No. 1 pick. Wait until the 2026-27 season, then the Mavericks will really have a chance to compete for the championship.
