The Dallas Mavericks struck gold when they selected Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 pick earlier this summer. He was the perfect two-way player for Jason Kidd's system, demonstrating youth and drive despite only being a Maverick for less than two months. Flagg has backed up that statement, as he has been in the gym 24/7 since his final college game for Duke. Assuming Flagg continues to work on his body and game tirelessly, he could exceed Nico Harisson's expectations right away.
Yet, the one thing that stands out about Flagg is his offensive game. Flagg's high energy and capital have brought excitement back to a city still mourning the loss of Luka Doncic.
