Flagg can't shoot

[Bluegrass79]

Horrible take; Anthony Davis couldn't shoot well either as a freshman. Neither did Embid. Kawhi Leonard shot 25% from three for his entire college career. Any team in the nation would kill for Flagg to be on their team

This wasn't a take. I was just reporting his shooting stats.
And hoping for the worst luck possible for Duke because of it. Lol!

You are wrong. Davis was not proclaimed “best in the nation” until after (or late in the) season after he had proved it. And his accolades came from his defense and rebounding. Embiid and Leonard were never claimed to be the best in college.
So your take is horrible.
Flagg is being sold to us as the best in the country, “a 3 level scorer”, but he’s not! He’s very good, maybe one of the best. Definitely not a 3 level scorer yet.

Flagg is suffering from the same thing that the last few Duke players have since Scheyer and his staff have taken over. Guys just aren't developing and improving on their deficiencies. Has any player came in and made drastic improvements under that staff? I can't think of a single one. In fact most like Filipowski, Lively, Whitehead, Proctor, Stewart, TJ Power, and Ngongba, who were all top 25 recruits were or still are underwhelming whether at Duke or at a new school if they transferred. That staff just can't develop talent IMO.

For those that CANNOT figure out what some of us are trying to say.

#1 Is Flagg a good college freshman player?
ANSWER: Yes

#2 Is Flagg a rare talented freshman?
ANSWER: No. Just a good freshman.

#3 Is Flagg worth all the hype & talk? Is he that kind of freshman?
ANSWER: Absolutely not!!! At Duke there are freshman that we're clearly better in the last 10 years. In no particular order:
1. Banchero
2. Tatum
3. Zion
4. RJ Barrett
5. Filipowski (so far)

**None of those guys received the level of hype that Flagg has received over the summer & even now. It's just stupid comical & obvious that it's an agenda

well, he hasn't gone 10 of 10 PLUS 10 in a crucial game, but give him time....

I’ll admit that …except for the outside shooting …I’ve been impressed by Flagg. He’s a far better defensive player than I realized, extremely active and disruptive. As a defender, ballhandler and mid-range player, he’s the real deal.

But he does have a glaring weakness. That crappy three-point shooting percentage ain’t gonna cut it at any level.
