He is still a work in progress. Even with two bad turnovers late, he already seems much more confident with the ball in his hands than the beginning of the season.
I was going to mention the Clayton post-up. Clayton didn't have a chance (twice), and couldn't offer any defense.
In almost every game, Flagg takes into account what defender he wants. Switches to that defender if he can, and then takes it to the basket for an easy two. I really haven't seen anyone just stop him once he's isolated.
And when Flagg gets in the paint, it always appears as if he's suddenly 6" taller. It's like some kind of optical illusion.
