It's still preseason, but the Mavericks' prospects are looking good with this move.
Playing an extremely undermanned Oklahoma City Thunder squad that was somehow on the second night of a back-to-back during the preseason, the Dallas Mavericks coasted to a 106-89 victory in their first preseason game at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth.
While one can never put too much stock into preseason action, No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg had a tremendous debut through 14 minutes of first-half action, and beyond Flagg, new addition D'Angelo Russell was likely the most impressive Maverick.
