The Dallas Mavericks have likely seen what they wanted from rookie forward Cooper Flagg after two Summer League games.

Rookie Cooper Flagg may not have been happy with his professional debut Thursday night in the NBA Summer League, but he still drew rave reviews all around after the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Los Angeles Lakers,

While Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has the usual pressure of being the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft, the former Duke star is in a situation that sets up his rookie season to be tougher than even LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama’s first NBA campaigns.

League debut for the Mavericks showcased his all-around potential, with 10 points, 6 rebounds, and defensive highlights. However, his poor shooting performance, particularly from three-point range, has raised concerns.

While all the attention was being paid to Cooper Flagg, former Auburn guard Miles Kelly was looking to show his capabilities on the basketball court. He scored 17 points in the Mavericks first game of the Las Vegas Summer League and helped his team to an 87-85 win over the Lakers.
