Flagg was the team's only selection in the 2025 NBA Draft, and they have major plans for the former Duke star. It has been reported that Mavs head coach Jason Kidd sees Flagg similar to Grant Hill, as someone who can have the ball in his hands as a point forward. That'll immediately be out to the test.

The Dallas Mavericks have only had Cooper Flagg for a couple of days, but that hasn’t stopped them from looking ahead. Over the past few months, it’s been difficult to say anything about the Mavericks without thinking about the Los Angeles Lakers.

Cooper Flagg said Jason Kidd explained “good vision” for a partnership in Dallas, adding the Knicks and their pursuit of the coach never came up.
