He makes it look so easy. No reason this kid should go a full quarter with only one touch on offense. His mid-range shot is already so good. Hovering around 50% since moving off point guard. That’s elite.
GOAT
He could easily have scored 35-40 points if Kidd hadn’t treated him like Sterling Brown in the first quarter and if B Will hadn’t thought of himself as MJ.
NBA is in a talent boom like the late 70s and mid 80s.
In the 70s there wasn’t a dominant team the entire decade just like the period we’re going through.
Wemby, Flagg and maybe one of these kids in the 2026 draft have the talent to produce dynasties just like Bird, Magic and MJ did.
The fact that he is averaging 19 ppg while surrounded by teammates who ignore him and play like they’re the stars shows how amazing he truly is.
Get this guy a stretch big and an actual PG and it’s about to look spooky
I would not be surprised if he gets on an all-nba team by the end of the year
