Media person: It is difficult for Flagg to succeed as a point guard now. Kidd should be honest and practical with Russell.

In the NBA regular season, the Mavericks lost to the Spurs 92-125 at home.

Flagg, the top pick of the Mavericks, played 31 minutes and 32 seconds in this game. He made 4 of 13 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He had a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds. He served as a point guard but had no assists and made 3 turnovers.

After the game, media person Mai Suifeng wrote: "Flagg scored 10 points and 10 rebounds in his debut and did not provide any assists. I hope Kidd will stop trying randomly. It was not very successful to play point guard with letters back then. It is also difficult for Flagg to succeed as point guard now. Just use Russell to play point guard."
