Cooper Flagg Shines in His Preseason Debut with the Mavericks<\/h2>\n\nFORT WORTH, Texas – Number one draft pick Cooper Flagg showcased his versatility and game impact during his NBA preseason debut.\n\nFlagg, known for his ability to influence the game in various ways, had an outstanding performance in the Dallas Mavericks’ victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder with a score of 106-89 at the Dickies Arena on Monday night.\n\nThe 18-year-old rookie accumulated 10 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and a block in 14 minutes of play.\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a fun style of basketball to play when the ball is moving,\u201d Flagg said. \u201cIt was fun.\u201d<\/p>Cooper Flagg<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

All of Flagg’s points came within a span of two minutes and 38 seconds in the second quarter. After grabbing a defensive rebound, Flagg advanced up the court to score a layup on a contested attempt, marking his first points. On the next possession, he hit a three-pointer. He also scored two free throws after being fouled and made another three-pointer.<\/p>\n\n\nFlagg went 3-for-6 from the field and 2-for-3 from the three-point line. In addition, he committed no turnovers, handling the ball smoothly and taking on responsibilities as the team’s point guard.\n\n\n

\u201cJust taking what the defense gives me,\u201d Flagg said. \u201cKeeping it simple, making the right play, whether it\u2019s passing or shooting.\u201d<\/p>Cooper Flagg<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nFlagg’s highlight moment came 85 seconds into the game, when he blocked a layup attempt by Isaiah Joe, which sparked a fast break that Anthony Davis finished with a dunk.\n\n\n

\u201cWe were able to see his defense, his playmaking, and then his scoring,\u201d said Mavs coach Jason Kidd. \u201cHe was really, really good.\u201d<\/p>Jason Kidd<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe reigning champion Thunder did not have their usual starters on this preseason trip, which included a victory over the Charlotte Hornets in Charleston, South Carolina, on Sunday night.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
