Thursday night’s matchup between Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks and Bronny James and the Los Angeles Lakers was the fourth-most-watched Summer League game ever, per ESPN.

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.

Cooper Flagg may not have been happy with his professional debut in the NBA Summer League, but he still drew some rave reviews afterward.

Duke basketball coach Jon Scheyer talks about the impact Cooper Flagg had on him as a coach during his one and only year at Durham.

Cooper Flagg didn't shy away from self-criticism after a rocky NBA summer league debut, calling the performance "not up to my standard" following the Dallas Mavericks' 87-85 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Cooper Flagg went 5-21 in his Summer League debut, but Jason McIntyre says it’s time to relax and let him develop.
