I think Coop is being groomed to be like Giannis - a forward who has the ball an awful lot and creates offense at times for both himself and others. The goal will be to create matchup issues. The question will be less about the labels and more about which players they put on the floor with him, and I would expect they will experiment a lot to find the best answers to that question.
He's very skilled, and a tremendously quick learner.
My concerns are more about the trajectory of his shooting efficiency, especially on 3s, and less about his handling-passing. If he could become a knockdown shooter on 3s, it makes a huge leap in what the Mavs can do and how good they can be right away.
