It’s been a remarkable year for basketball prodigy Cooper Flagg, who was selected No. 1 overall by the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Draft this past June. Flagg appeared in two Summer League games for Dallas before being shut down—capping his brief stint with a 31-point performance that gave the Mavericks’ coaching staff all the confirmation they needed that he’s their next franchise cornerstone.
