I asked Cooper Flagg about Jason Kidd’s emphasis on him playing some point guard:

“Yeah I’m looking forward to it. Coach Scheyer trusted me a lot last year, and I handled it a lot…Set up a lot of different actions, I think it’s something I can do at a high level, so I’m excited to just experiment and do some new things.”

Dallas Mavericks Summer League head coach Josh Broghamer said that they made Cooper Flagg take a break on the Fourth of July because he has been so eager to work and be in the gym.

Broghamer said he is always among the first to the gym.

Mavs forward Cooper Flagg on Jason Kidd being confident in him to try next things within the game:

“It gives me a lot of confidence, obviously, having that kind of messaging, confidence from him. Just knowing that he’s gonna trust me to try some new things…”

Kidd has let him know that he is going to go through some failure, but he isn’t worried about the mistakes he makes.

Flagg mentioned getting “out of his shell.”
