My concern level for Cooper Flagg is nonexistent. We may have just watched the worst game of his career — and he still ended with a double-double. However, my concern level for how Cooper Flagg is used in Jason Kidd's system will tick up about 1 percent every game he's the starting point guard. The problem is obvious; Flagg is not a true point guard. The solution is obvious, too (albeit less exciting): D'Angelo Russell needs to start in place of either PJ Washington or Klay Thompson.
I understand the desire to keep a starting lineup versatile, but there's no reason to start four forwards (Flagg, Washington, Thompson, and Anthony Davis all started on Wednesday) without at least one guard present.
