在面对奇才的比赛，弗拉格展现出比以往更强烈的身体对抗。他表示与马绍尔和华盛顿并肩作战，本身就是一堂实战教学课。

弗拉格：他们俩太懂得利用身体优势了，无论是冲击篮筐还是对抗中的技术运用，在这些方面我从他们身上学到了很多。

“Two dynamic wings that use their bodies so well, getting into the rim and using that physicality,” Flagg said. “I’ve just learned so much from them already in those areas.”

马绍尔也夸赞弗拉格：太不可思议了，他身材高大，骨架出色，能完成，身体强壮。他的弹跳爆发力惊人，在开阔场地上简直是个恐怖存在。所以我们越是能让他获得这样的快攻机会，球队赢面就越大。

“Unbelievable,” Marshall said of Flagg. “Big. High frame. Can finish. Strong. And he’s got a lot of bounce, so him in the open court is scary. So the more we can get him in the open court for plays like that, the better our chances of winning the game.”

奇才主帅布莱恩·基夫表示，这位新星的成长学费必将早早兑现价值：弗拉格显然是位杰出球员。我尤其欣赏他的能量、比赛方式、竞争意识、无私精神以及传球视野。所有人都能看到他的封盖能力和推动攻防转换的作用。他打的是真正的胜利的篮球，我对他的比赛表现充满敬意。

“Obviously a great player,” Washington’s Brian Keefe said. “I just love his energy and how he plays. His competitiveness. His unselfishness. And how he passes. Obviously, everybody can see the shot blocking and pushing the ball in transition. He plays a winning style of basketball. I have great respect for his game.”
