Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd is already plotting ways to challenge Cooper Flagg. Kidd knows what kind of skillset the No. 1 pick brings to the table, but he emphasized on Friday that the upcoming NBA Summer League will be a chance for Flagg to expand his game in a role that’s atypical for him.

It seems that not only are the Dallas Mavericks hoping Cooper Flagg can replace Luka Doncic as the face of their franchise immediately, but they even want him to play a similar role on offense.

Dallas Mavericks star P.J. Washington gushed about the pick. Washington spoke to DJ Siddiqi of RG.org. And he made an extremely strong statement about the former Duke player.
