Through 60 games, Flagg is averaging 20.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.6 assists in 33.8 minutes per night as a 19-year-old. After scoring 32 points against the Warriors, he now has eight career 30-point games, more than any other teenager in NBA history except LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony. He did it while shooting 12-of-19 from the floor and 2-of-4 from beyond the arc, while making all six of his free throw attempts and finding his teammates for nine assists.
“He’s slowing the game down. He’s reading the defense really well,” Max Christie said of Flagg. “When he gets into his backdowns and his moves, he’s taking his time more — he’s not rushed. He’s still making the right play. That’s the first sign of growth.”
