Cooper Flagg Enters Year Two With Sky-High Expectations In Dallas

Dallas Mavericks sophomore Cooper Flagg enters his second NBA season facing massive expectations after averaging 23 points, 5 assists, and 7 rebounds in his final 51 games. While his downhill scoring and confidence grew exponentially, Flagg must improve his outside shooting after hitting just 29% from three and relying on tough mid-range jumpers. With a best-case scenario of entering MVP conversations, Flagg's primary season goal is to earn All-Star and All-NBA recognition while leading the franchise.
