Yeah, I'm not that worried about his ability to figure it out as an upperclassman. Seems like a nice long-term piece, and a good fit with the "behemoth one-in + four smaller guys" trend. I'm just all-in on the Flagg szn right now and mainly thinking about him in that context.

(To be clear, I've also never even seen him play an actual game, so I don't have any very strong opinions about him yet. For all I know, he may be my next Bolden.)

I'm also thinking Flagg may help cover up any deficiencies he has as a freshman.

Flagg could play the 5, but I wonder if playing the 4 will allow him to be a defensive disruptor/free safety. We've seen Mitchell be kind of a weakside help guy even from the 3 position, especially toward the end of last year. And of course Justise was awesome in that role.

Paging @childress22 , chief researcher of TDF.

Reporting for duty, belatedly. It's like GONG-buh, or even more like GUNG-buh.

Here's a vid from 3 years ago where he's saying his name at the beginning.

I keep dyslexic'ng the spelling of his name, regardless of pronunciation.

On that note, the spelling's wrong in the thread title. Devilsforlife, can you fix that?
