"Flagg adds to an already-loaded frontcourt, headlined by Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively II. When healthy, they could be one of the most dynamic, dominant frontcourts in the sport. Dallas will be without Kyrie Irving for the season after he tore his ACL late last season. Flagg - as well as newly-signed D'Angelo Russell - will assume those ball-handling responsibilities."
"That was their biggest storyline of the summer. There will be a lot of eyes on Flagg in his rookie season. He turned 18-years-old in December and was the best player in college basketball last season. Flagg is an incredibly gifted scorer, decision-maker, finisher and defender who will help jumpstart this new era ... even though Dallas should still be reprimanded for trading Doncic."
General manager Nico Harrison traded Luka Doncic last February and landed the No. 1 overall pick, selecting Cooper Flagg. The Mavericks added D'Angelo Russell and re-signed Daniel Gafford, Kyrie Irving, P.J. Washington, and Dante Exum while losing Spencer Dinwiddie, Olivier Maxence-Prosper, Kai Jones, and Kessler Edwards. Flagg joins a frontcourt featuring Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively II and projects as a gifted scorer, decision-maker, finisher and defender as an 18-year-old rookie. Kyrie Irving will miss the season with a torn ACL, so Flagg and Russell will handle ball-handling. Roster depth remains a concern; grade: B.
