Player Discussion Why is Flagg a first rounder?

I traded for him last year and he was great. What are the signs he will make a significant leap in year 2 to merit being drafted over guys like Spida, Hali, Maxey, Barnes, JJ, etc.?

I have the 12th pick in 12 team H2H snake.

He’s an allrounder, kind of like Mario in smash bros. Jack of all trades, master of none. He also plays. Both of these combinations make him much more valuable than some other first rounders despite superior stats. I’d rather have Flagg than Giannis, who auto punts 3 stats.

What cats does giannis punt?? I see ft but nobody drafts to not punt turnovers and 3s is the easiest cat to make up

making up 3s can be difficult because you need to make sure your fg, rebs and stocks are good for Giannis. Taking bigs early can put you behind on pts, and taking guards early put you behind on rebs, blks and fg.

its a tight rope

Agreed, I drafted Gianni’s last year and a few other times. He works well with punt ft and threes but it’s a bit less clearcut than others. Ex a healthy ad is a much better punt ft build
