From Flop to Phenomenon: The Remarkable Rise of This Unlikely Flagg

Most of the reason that the matchups won’t be good for Washington is because the Mavericks actually play defense. You probably remember that a massive trade took place last year – Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis and the right to select Cooper Flagg via the NBA. Allegedly, the reasoning behind that was so that the Mavs could upgrade on defense because Doncic isn’t good enough. Right… Anyway, it certinaly didn’t help in the first game as they allowed the Spurs to pour in 125 points against them. The Mavericks looked like a team that doesn’t have a true point guard. And, at the moment, they don’t. Flagg is expected to be a point guard for the team for now, and he certainly can do it. He played it a bit at Duke, but this is against nothing but professionals. He really struggled in his first game, not scoring in the first half at all. He clearly was nervous in his first outing. He missed a dunk then he missed another shot and pretty much stopped shooting for the first half. The good thing is that he definitely kept himself involved, hauling in 10 boards. He did get 10 points in the second half, but he didn’t get an assist in the game.
