Uh ... I would not characterize Flagg's relative strengths that way. At least not yet.Seems like Flagg has Dylan's ability to drive to the hoop and Ace's ability to make mid range jumpers. The differentiator seems to be that Flagg plays defense at a higher level. He'll be #1 but I wouldn't be surprised if Dylan gets picked ahead of Ace.
That said, when these guys are all 24 year old men in the NBA, Ace might be the one you want.

NBA GMs don’t care about hype, they have been scouting these kids for years . . .In my opinion Harper should go #1…..but I don’t think he will unless Flagg struggles for the rest of the season (pretty unlikely)
The media has created so much hype around Flagg that I feel like an NBA GM wouldn’t pass up on his because if they do, their job would be in danger.
I disagree, Flagg at 17 years old has the most potential. He needs to work on his outside shot but once he improves that he will be a great all around player. He passes. rebounds, blocks shots and his overall athletic ability is very high.Dylan is, currently, the most polished and NBA ready of the three.
Flagg is the most versatile of the three, but likely has the lowest ceiling (relatively speaking).
Ace is the least NBA ready but has the highest ceiling.
I would be happy with any of the three if I was the first team picking.
