Cooper Flagg’s Quiet Debut Masks a Thrilling Mavericks Victory Over Thunder
Flagg dominated at Duke, where he won consensus National Player of the Year honors and helped the Blue Devils reach the Final Four. He averaged 19.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game there, and was long considered the favorite to go No. 1 overall in the draft. The Mavericks, just months after the chaos that came with trading away superstar Luka Dončić, remarkably won the NBA Draft lottery for the first time in franchise history. They only had a 1.8% chance to do so.
Flagg appeared in just two Summer League games for the Mavericks before the team shut him down. He dropped 31 points in the team’s second game following a very rough start in which he shot just 5-of-21 from the field.
