I see him named on the bench and feel really assured... you could see tonight we had a bit of an issue when having to rely on Kobe, Palasia and Jensen to lead the middle.
Having Flegs on the bench and being that leader off the bench is a massive plus for us as a team... I feel like him getting a start is a great reward, but I really do like him coming off the bench and allowing us to take Haas and Patty off knowing he can carry the middle.
When it comes to middle forwards they all pretty well end up playing the same amount of minutes so coming off the bench shouldn't be seen as a demotion... in the NBA they'll often have a second playmaker on the bench and it's their job to lead the second unit.
Having a strong bench is a massive boost to the team... can recall back in 2015 or 2016 we had Joffa and maybe TPJ or something coming off the bench and they were just dominating their opposites every week... it's a huge part of the game
