"Flagg averaged 23.5 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 4.8 APG and more than one steal, block and 3-pointer in December while shooting 51.6% from the field and 80.8% from the line. Those are top-20 fantasy numbers, quite easily. Nobody is averaging every one of those numbers for the season. There are 25 players averaging 23.5 PPG per game. Most of them are relevant in rebounds, 3-pointers and steals, but they don't do all these things consistently, including hitting half their field goal attempts, either."
"We can see inconsistency and passiveness on a game-by-game basis, and that can be frustrating for fantasy managers, and it occasionally appears that Flagg is more comfortable blending in on offense. He isn't always assertive. That figures to change in the second half of this season because these Mavericks are not winning the championship, and they will not have C/PF Anthony Davis on the court."
Cooper Flagg produced elite counting numbers in December, averaging 23.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, more than one steal, block and three-pointer while shooting 51.6% from the field and 80.8% from the line. Those outputs align with top-20 fantasy production but are accompanied by game-by-game inconsistency and occasional passiveness. The Mavericks' lack of championship prospects and the absence of C/PF Anthony Davis suggest expanded offensive responsibilities for Flagg in the second half. Flagg missed a pair of games with a left ankle sprain yet still delivered an 18-point performance at Madison Square Garden.
