Mavericks' forgotten draft pick could replace rising wing if trade whispers turn real

After finishing 2-3 at Summer League and getting to see Cooper Flagg tear up the Las Vegas scene for two games, the Dallas Mavericks' 2025 Summer League went completely according to plan, as Flagg showcased some of the potential that made him the No. 1 pick and didn't get hurt in exhibition contests. Dallas quickly rested Flagg for the remainder of Summer League after two games, and shut down fellow rookie Ryan Nembhard after three contests too, as Dallas was likely focused on seeing if any of the remaining talent on the roster would be suitable for their last two-way spot or a training camp invite.
