Clay: Flagg’s excellent physical condition has had a huge impact on the game and we have high expectations for him

In the NBA preseason, the Mavericks defeated the Jazz 114-101. After the game, Clay was interviewed.

Talking about the performance of No. 1 pick Flagg, Clay said: "What impressed me most about Flagg is that his condition does not depend on a single concentrated training session. His physical condition is extremely good and his cardiopulmonary function is extremely strong. When he is in his mid-twenties and his physical dimensions are further enhanced, the level of strength he can achieve will be very scary. Now. He is only 18 years old, but he can already have a huge impact on the game. I am full of expectations for his future, but at the same time, he can provide a lot of help to our team now."

In this campaign, Flagg played 21 minutes, only 3 of 13 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, 4 free throws, 11 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
