I'm guessing next season with a year under his belt and (hopefully) a more coherent lineup he will provide a much stronger impact on that end.
Mostly agree, but more of a counter to the claim that Flagg's defensive rating was better than Kon's when both were below average and to put numbers around my eye test. Like I said, the team is a mess. I'm sure experience and having to handle the ball less next year will help out his efficiency on the defensive end.
