Yes, it's obvious that we won the lucky sign again and got Flagge. This is a young man with super basketball talent. His physical fitness and shooting skills are excellent, but the NBA stage is completely different from his previous games. Now he is a rookie and needs to apply to various challenges in the NBA!"

"I want Flagge to play the role of point guard in the summer league. He performed well in the NCAA organization of passes. I want him to become a versatile player in the team. Point guards, point guards, forwards, etc. He will quickly grow into one of the best rookie players in the league! ”

Frager played for Duke University in the 2024-2025 season, playing as a forward. The draft template is Pippen or Tatum. He played a total of 37 games, averaged 30.6 minutes per game, and scored 19.2 points + 7.8 rebounds + 4.2 assists, leading Duke University to the league semi-finals, but unfortunately he lost to the University of Houston in the end.
