Mavericks' Cooper Flagg Explodes Off-Ball, Dominates Clutch Play

Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has transformed his game, thriving since shifting from point guard to an off-ball finisher. In 23 games, he's averaged 20.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.0 blocks on 51% shooting. His production has surged to 24.1 PPG and 4.8 APG on 53% shooting (58% on 2-pointers) with a .608 true shooting percentage over the last 12 games. Flagg has also become Dallas' go-to player in crunch time, posting 51% FG and 83% FT, with a 25.5% clutch usage rate. Despite needing to develop his jumper and strength, the 19-year-old is already a 'monster' talent.
