MacKenzie also confirms that Flagg’s workouts have included, at times, and Chris Paul. Durant had less one-on-one interaction with Flagg directly, and primarily involved watching Durant work out, while Paul imparted advice primarily on how to adjust to the non-basketball side of the game.

I think Chris Paul has been really helpful in sharing the different things that you need to be aware of when you’re coming into the league as a rookie in terms of how to manage your time off the court. During your downtime, you need to make sure you’re also treating your recovery with importance and understanding that 82 games is a long season… Being able to get that input has been incredibly valuable.”

Lauded for his versatile skillset, MacKenzie relays that Flagg’s workouts are meant to prepare him for any and every role that his next team will ask him to play.
