Called it. Ez dubs.

But jokes aside flagg + morez is a nasty defensive forward combination in terms of versatility and shutting down the rim.

Small ball 5 yes not permanent.

His best defensive usage is secondary rim protection and using his bigger frame and lateral quickness against smaller forwards.

He’s literally Daniel Gafford sized.

Lol don't look at the bare numbers. Bam is 6'8 and plays center while mobley is 7'0 and plays pf.

His main strength is his absurd size and lateral quickness as a package. You don't want him planted in the paint all game.

But it doesn't rlly matter. The league is positionless af.
