What is his attack limit?
Flagg's offensive impact has far exceeded people's expectations, as he demonstrated his playmaker ability to create opportunities for himself and his teammates at the university level, making him the best performing player in the college basketball world. The two aspects that have the greatest impact on what level of star player he will become are his ball control and perimeter shooting. Can he still score efficiently after multiple dribbles? How much threat does he pose on the outside line (currently his three-point shooting percentage has reached 36%)?
Anyway, Flagg is highly likely to become the top scorer, but the extent to which he can evolve over the long term is determined by his growth in these two aspects. Although he was a bit nitpicky, after all, his performance this season was already great enough, but his struggling performance at critical moments against the University of Kentucky and the University of Kansas at the beginning of the season did expose his lack of independent offensive creativity.
Scout's viewpoint: "He will be able to easily create opportunities for himself in the future. After reaching his peak, he will become the best overall player in a series of playoffs. However, growing into that decisive role may not be his talent
