Cooper Flagg is giving the Dallas Mavericks and the rest of the NBA plenty to talk about early in his second season. After a standout rookie campaign, the 19-year-old is showing even more polish and production, according to Yahoo Sports.
The jump in performance has fueled conversation among analysts and fans about whether Flagg, still just a teenager, already belongs in the conversation as one of the NBA's top-10 players. That kind of debate so early in a young star's career underscores how quickly expectations have risen for the Mavericks forward.
While the season is still in its early stages, Flagg's trajectory suggests the hype building around him is rooted in real, on-court improvement rather than just potential.
