Famous reporter: Flagg never played point guard in college and high school, the Mavericks will have to rely on Russell

October 29th Today, ESPN famous reporter Tim MacMahon talked about the Mavericks No. 1 pick Flagg in the live show "NBAToday".

Talking about the low offensive efficiency of Flagg's team playing point guard, the reporter said: "Kidd talked a lot about the long-term benefits that he thought would be brought by letting Flagg play directly as point guard at the beginning of his career, but this is a position he has never played. He never played point guard at Duke or in high school."

"So, not only does he have to play point guard at the age of 18, The NBA is learning as you go, and it's still an unfamiliar position. I think what's interesting is that we can continue to watch Russell's role. He has been really just a peripheral rotation player in the first few games. When he carries the ball across the half court, the Mavericks' offense is completely different. Whether they want to or not, I think they will continue to rely on Russell to play a significant role."
