Cooper Flagg Favored for Rookie of the Year After Mavericks Draft

Dallas Mavericks' No. 1 pick, Cooper Flagg, is the heavy favorite (-190 odds) to win the Rookie of the Year award, joining a competitive team where he won't be expected to carry the full load as a rookie. Historically, similar highly-touted prospects like Zion Williamson and Anthony Davis have fallen short of this award. Flagg's situation is seen as optimal for his rookie season.
