Could not agree more! Flagg's ball-handling gets better each week. His 3PT shot will come around. A lot of the great ones struggled from distance their rookie year. 

Lebron 29%, Luka 32%, Durant 28%. 

Those 3 are the ones Flagg closely resemble with his offensive numbers' rookie year vs. rookie year. All of which are 'big Wing' types. I'm not comparing playstyles, only production.

Saying Flagg is "only X" is the wrong way to go IMO.

I'm sure Flagg will get better with ball handling and shooting as he develops, but his most elite talent is clearly dominating in the paint.  I think its reasonable to want to build around his strengths.  This team is already light on shooting/spacing and heavy on guys that like to operate closer to the basket.  I can't imagine how good Flagg could be if he had a little more space to work.
