Mavericks' baffling move may have cost this youngster a fast track to real minutes

With the Dallas Mavericks only having two games remaining in Summer League, fans got exactly what they expected from No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg, as Flagg showcased his creation ability, effort level, and electric athleticism in two games in Las Vegas before being shut down by Dallas' staff. Die-hard Mavericks fans will still want to see how two-way contract standouts Ryan Nembhard and Miles Kelly fare in the remaining two contests, though, as both players look like prospective NBA rotation players at some point in their career if they can continue to develop.

Another player who could've fit this mold is none other than third-year wing Olivier-Maxence Prosper, as the 23-year-old and 2023 first-round pick should've been playing and developing in Summer League by all accounts, but was never listed on Dallas' Summer League roster in the first place.
