After his debut, who is Flag s template?

The most obvious round happened in one minute in the 4th quarter. The Lakers launched a pick-and-roll to try to break through. Flag quickly guarded the opponent and gave the opponent a big hat. This block also showed his grasp of the rhythm of the game and the timing of the defense. He did not choose to confront the opponent head-on, but after observing the opponent's movements, he relied on his long arms to give the most accurate block.

It can be foreseen that the Mavericks next season should be very good in frontcourt defense intensity and assisted defense range. Considering that the team recruited Russell, who has always been considered a defensive loophole in the offseason, under such a defensive configuration, many problems should be able to alleviate.

As for the future development template, based on the above characteristics, the one that Flag looks most similar may be Jason Tatum.

To sum up, Flag's body condition is currently unable to survive in the fourth and fifth positions, and the first and second positions require a long time to train. Just look at this game alone, if you have to find a future template for Flag, then the answer is very likely to be Tatum.

In terms of body conditions, Tatum and Flag have similar body shapes. A striker with both height and wingspan is not a typical explosive athlete, nor does he rely entirely on speed or strength to suppress the game. Instead, he relies on physical coordination, flexible footsteps and sense of game rhythm to establish advantages in ball-holding offense, and rely on rhythm changes and offensive footsteps to create shooting space.

vs. Tatum, although he is most of the time he claims to be a small forward, he will also become the team's main ball holder and offensive starting point at critical moments. If Flag grows according to Kidd's point guard plan, he may also move towards a similar route in the future; in regular time, he is an auxiliary wing forward, and can be transformed into a full-time offensive core at critical moments.

And if Flag really goes to Tatum's route, he may need to practice three-pointers hard next. Putting aside 0 of 5 three-pointers in this game, Flag was at least 37% in college. However, the NBA's three-point line is farther than the college field. The Mavericks have enough core cores and will also take some offensive opportunities. It is not easy to follow Tatum's magic ball route, but it can be foreseeable that the performance on the three-point line will be the key to Flag's success or failure in his NBA career. Although the gap between

is a bit far from expectations, this is just the beginning after all.

Flag's summer league debut had only one dunk, no three-pointers, and no crushing rookies in the same period; it seems unexpected, but this is the reality. A basketball genius who is at the peak from high school to college must start learning from scratch after entering the real high-level league stage.

All superstars in the league started like this. Tatum gradually learned to choose from unstable in the first year. As for Flag, as long as he is willing to hone the ball, develop the outside feel, and find the offensive rhythm that suits him in high-intensity games, everything is possible.

In the final analysis, this is just a summer league game. When the regular season starts and Irving returns healthily, Kidd can find a way to allow Flag to grow steadily. Then the growth progress of the No. 1 pick will be far more complete and comprehensive than the first match of the Summer League. At that time, you should be able to see the value brought by this white No. 1 pick.
