The post Cooper Flagg’s standout trait becoming obvious during Summer League appeared first on ClutchPoints.LAS VEGAS — Cooper Flagg was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft for many reasons.

Flagg has gone from sitting on a bucket for hours at a time harvesting peas to finding a place in the NBA as the No. 1 draft pick.

LAS VEGAS- In a battle that featured three 2025 lottery picks, the anticipation didn’t outweigh the on-court production.

Cooper Flagg's summer league debut wasn't perfect. But there were flashes of greatness, and at this stage the Mavericks would be wise to let him fail.

Flagg, drafted No. 1 by the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, had a few suitors wanting him to represent their shoe and apparel product.

“Y ou kind of have to think of the Kobe [Bryant] arc, ” former Mavericks majority owner Mark Cuban told a small group of reporters. “It took him some time to get it right. I don’t want to curse him by comparing him to Kobe because they’re not the same. But Kobe didn’t come in right away as a polished player. It took him two years to get it.”
