Did he go training in the hyperbolic time chamber during the summer? How does he look like the best player in the world all of a sudden??

He's being aggressive with the ball, forcing not settling.

His ceiling is actually the GOAT. Of course nobody should actually expect him to reach that, but it would be a shock if he's not the best player in the league at some point.

The NBA Illuminati has given y'all ...

The Next Wilt mixed with Tracy McGrady in Wemby

and

The Next MJ mixed with David Thompson in VJ Edgecombe

What more do you want :lol:?

It's so awesome seeing Victor go to the bench and the Spurs don't completely collapse immediately

All this talk about how historical a prospect Flagg is..kinda feels silly when a MUCH MUCH better prospect just entered the league a few years ago

It's only game 1 but it's genuinely terrifying for the rest of the league if The Spurs are this good in year 3 of Wemby.

They have depth, side, speed and plenty of great ball handlers.

Walker Kessler is leading the league in 3FG%.

Yeah, he actually looks liike a man amongst children now.
I mean we've all seen him having great games but they didn't feel like this. He's pushing everyone around and getting what he wants on both ends now.

I don't think anyone realistically argued that Flagg is a comparable prospect to Wemby. He's still an amazing prospect and will be great.

And now you know why Suns fans, myself included, were ecstatic to get him off our roster even if it meant dead money for five seasons. Dude is cooked. He just fails to accept reality being what it is.

Flagg will be alright. He's out of position and going against elite defenders with Wemby and Castle in his first game.
