This is not ideal for the Dallas Mavericks as they look to begin a new era with Cooper Flagg.
Cooper Flagg might already be the de facto go-to scorer of the Dallas Mavericks as an 18-year-old kid. He missed an opportunity at a game-tying shot against the New Orleans Pelicans recently, but the others haven't been hitting in clutch time either. Flagg was supposed to develop a rapid relationship with his fellow Duke alum, Dereck Lively II, and take over the NBA.
