Cooper Flagg is hitting the rookie wall, but Jason Kidd knows it's just part of the journey to greatness.
35 games into his first season in the NBA, Dallas Mavericks star Cooper Flagg is hitting the infamous rookie wall.
This is normal for rookies, as many of them are playing professional basketball for the first time in their lives, and the physical and mental demands of the NBA are much different from anything that they've ever been through.
