Former Maverick slams Cooper Flagg with all-time embarrassing take
Dallas Mavericks, Cooper Flagg | Rob Gray-Imagn ImagesCooper Flagg dropped a career-high 49 points on Thursday night against the Charlotte Hornets, but that wasn't enough to impress former Dallas Maverick Jamal Mashburn. He played for Dallas from 1993 until 1997, but his ties to the Mavericks didn't stop him from making one of the worst takes about Flagg when comparing him to the 2026 NBA draft class.
This class is headlined by AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Caleb Wilson, and Cam Boozer, and Mashburn believes that Flagg would be behind five freshmen if he were in college this season.
"If I was to put (Cooper Flagg) on that list (of current freshmen), he would be 6th," Mashburn said on TNT.
