DALLAS, TEXAS — Cooper Flagg, the 6-foot-9 freshman phenom, officially arrived this week and was introduced to the Dallas media on Friday. Calm and confident, Flagg is ready to make an immediate impact.
“I’m looking forward to being a sponge… soaking it all in,” he said about joining the Dallas Mavericks, signaling his hunger to learn and grow fast.
Flagg’s game is a rare blend of size, skill, and relentless energy. A forward with guard-like handles and elite court vision, he plays with a mix of grit and grace that sets him apart from typical rookies.
Early reports from team workouts say Flagg is already outworking veterans and setting the tone on defense. He’s not waiting his turn — he’s here to lead.
The NBA hasn’t seen a rookie this hyped since Zion. But Flagg’s intensity and instincts make it clear: he’s ready now.
Cooper Flagg isn’t here to impress. He’s here to own.
