Cooper Flagg is starting to hit his stride just three games into his NBA journey. In a thrilling matchup against the Toronto Raptors, the Dallas Mavericks rookie showcased his potential, leading the team to a 139-129 victory. Flagg finished the game with an impressive 22 points on 8-of-14 shooting, while also contributing four rebounds, four assists, and a block.
Fans are beginning to take notice as Flagg’s performance continues to improve. After a solid NBA debut against the San Antonio Spurs where he scored 10 points, albeit with a less-than-stellar shooting percentage of 31%, he made significant strides in his second game. He posted 18 points along with six assists and five rebounds, and now he has set a new personal best with his 22-point game.
While Flagg has displayed flashes of brilliance, it’s essential to remember that he is only 18 years old and still in the early stages of his development. The rookie will have standout performances like Sunday’s, but there may also be games that remind fans of his youth and the learning curve that comes with being a newcomer in the league.
With each game, Flagg is proving his potential and growing confidence, suggesting a promising future ahead for the young player.
