One of those have to see him play types as I agree O box scores don't paint a good picture so far. I'd say they rather paint an incomplete picture.
I knew people would focus on the couple of good plays and ignore the rest of the game. Hard not to when the announcers were glazing him non-stop after those plays but then were conveniently quiet the remaining 3/4 of the game while Flagg was putting up 31 points. He's certainly gifted and has the makings of a good defender but "beast" after that game is getting carried away.
Check what CF shot when guarded directly by Bryant and get back to us.
I mean, I actually watched the game. In this highlight video alone Flagg scores on Carter directly 4 different times. Another time he beats him down the floor in transition and in another Carter threatens a double that Flagg splits. Like I said, 1-2 times he guarded him well in the very beginning of the game and then Flagg proceeded to score at will whether Carter was on him, in the vicinity or someone else had him. I'm a fan but it's clear the false narrative that he's some shutdown defender is already being promoted despite the facts
