MAVS NEWS:

[Mavs2021]

It's kind of freaking crazy.

I never for one second allowed myself to believe that Flagg could come in and replicate a rookie season that was even close to as good as Luka's (who statistically was one of the best rookies since Lebron). I was so okay with him being a project on offense at 14-16ppg with elite defense and have some growing pains.

And in 3 months he's averaging prime Kawhi numbers WITH elite defense. 

It's silly to think he can sustain this, but if this is a glimpse of who he can be every night in the following years, I can't help but to think that divine intervention really occurred to save us from ones man delusions.

One thing to keep in mind is that these opposing teams don´t give a f***. They know the Mavs want to lose games, so it´s almost like a hidden NBA product deal. They let Cooper get his points and they get the WIN. Cooper looking special helps the overall value of the league. IF this was serious business, they´d defend Cooper like he´s Rondo. That being said, when/if Cooper develops a 40% 3pt shot, the league is f***** and that is damn exciting.
