Flagg was one of the few lucky up-and-coming basketball stars who got to spar with Team USA during their practice sessions in Las Vegas prior to the Olympics.
He did incredibly well during his matches with the team and was seen shooting over and defending some of the most prominent names in the league, including Jrue Holiday, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and more.
