September is finally here. This means Dallas Mavericks basketball is almost upon us, as fans can observe Cooper Flagg and his upcoming role on the team. He is expected to play a major role in his first season. Noah Webber of the Smoking Cuban predicted that Flagg will be in the Mavs' starting lineup this season, alongside Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson, Dereck Lively II, and D'Angelo Russell.
If the statement above is true, this is good news for Flagg. This means Jason Kidd trusts the 18-year-old rookie, further developing the relationship between the two. If you recall, Kidd has a high IQ and has a history of developing players like Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
