While Flag spent time in the traditional forward position during his lonely season in Duke, the team’s roster also listed him as a guard. Former Maveryx player and current coach Jason Kid admitted that he takes a more fine attitude to the posts of players.
“I don’t look at the situation,” Kid said during a press conference.

Flag is expected to make its debut in the NBA Summer League on July 10 against Los Angeles Lee. Kid revealed that he wanted to see the flag in action in the position of the point guard.
“I want to keep him in a point guard. I want to make him uncomfortable and see how he reacts. Be able to run the show. Be able to play (Shooting Guard). Play (small forward). He is comfortable playing. We want to push. I think he is going to answer positively.”

The Kid, while handling the ball, made the Flagag possible mistakes, removing the concerns as he played the guards’ position.
“It is all right to fail, all this is fine to turn the ball. We have talked about that. Just to understand those who have been around those who are young with gianis (Antatoconampo), giving him the ball, and he failed, but he wanted to come back and keep the ball.”
