Laettner would’ve been more effective in this era of the NBA but he was an interior player with some perimeter abilities. Flagg is a more skilled player with more upside.

Think if they played against each other Flagg would get destroyed. Christian had the physicality and arrogance. Flagg seems soft in comparison to Laettner.

Flagg is way more athletic, way more able to create, and can actually take the ball on the bounce against an NBA level athlete.

There's a spot in hell for Laettner. That's one difference.

Flagg is a monster....he's going to be a franchise player within 3 years. I believe he is going to be that good.

Laettner played 114 more games than Flagg in college.

Well, that’s interesting considering Flagg could take him off of the dribble at will.
