Since landing the No. 1 overall pick, the buzz surrounding the Dallas Mavericks has completely flipped after multiple weeks of turmoil due to the Luka Doncic trade and numerous injuries to star players. While Summer League has ended for the Mavericks, Cooper Flagg's second game also added hype to what will become a new era for the Mavericks.
With Flagg's emergence, ushering in a new era of Mavericks basketball in Dallas, Naji Marshall emerged as a valuable piece last season after multiple injuries to star players increased his role, and all signs point to Marshall once again playing a significant role on the Mavs next season.
