He is only the third rookie since the NBA/ABA merger to record 50 or more points in a game, joining Allen Iverson and Brandon Jennings. Shooting 63.3 percent from the field, 66.7 percent from three, and 100 percent from the free throw line, Flagg became just the 21st player in NBA history to record 50-plus points while shooting 60 percent or better from the field, 60 percent or better from behind the arc, and 100 percent from the charity stripe. He is the only rookie to accomplish the feat.
