Related Topics: Dallas Mavericks, Jason Kidd

Dallas Mavericks rookie forward's potential impact in his first season in the NBA was recently compared to that of Giannis Antetokounmpo, and if Flagg can follow in his footsteps, the Mavericks just acquired another legend months after losing one in Luka Doncic.

ESPN's Tim MacMahon recently discussed Flagg's potential as a rookie in the annual ESPN NBA player rankings, where Flagg was ranked No. 52, and his breakdown of how Jason Kidd can use him similarly to how he did with Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee is what should have Mavs fans excited.

"Jason Kidd plans to give the 6-foot-9 Flagg plenty of opportunity to prove that he can flourish as a point forward," MacMahon wrote.
