- The No. 1 pick started all 70 games and averaged 21.0 points, 4.5 assists and 6.7 rebounds.
- At 19, he became the youngest player to top 50 points with 51 in a loss to the Orlando Magic, passing Brandon Jennings.
- Voting totals showed 56 votes for Flagg to 44 for Kon Knueppel, with VJ Edgecombe third on 93 third-place votes.
