Flagg: It’s a lot of pressure to play point guard and I’ve tried my best. Others can do a better job of easing the offensive burden.

November 15th NBA Cup, the Mavericks lost to the Clippers 127-133 in double overtime. After the game, Flagg was interviewed.

When asked about how it felt to return to his natural position of small forward after serving as point guard for the first seven games, Flagg said: "Being a point guard comes with a lot of pressure and responsibility. I don't know if I was ready at the time or if I could handle the responsibility right away. I tried my best, and that's not to say I can't come back here in the future. This position - I can get better through training. Recent situations have proved that the overall effect will be better if others can share the pressure and relieve the burden on the offensive end."

In this campaign, Flagg played 48 minutes, shooting 8 of 13, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 0 of 1 free throw, 16 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal, with 4 turnovers and a plus-minus value of -15.
