LeBron James defends Jason Kidd’s decision to move Cooper Flagg from forward to point guard this season, even though the learning curve for an NBA point guard is incredibly difficult for a 19-year-old to master. James credits this move for Cooper’s rapid development as an NBA player.
“Kidd early on got a little scrutinized because they started him at point guard, and I thought that was unfair,” LeBron said. “I think it’s great to put the ball in somebody’s hands, so they can just go through the rough patches. And when you go through the rough patches, it allows you to grow at a rate faster than other players.”
