## Resource

Cooper Flagg, the top pick in the 2025 draft, dazzled as a rookie with the Dallas Mavericks, earning Rookie of the Year and All-Rookie First Team honors while averaging 21 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in 70 games. Despite his stellar individual campaign, the Mavericks struggled as a team, finishing 26-56 and twelfth in the East — a far cry from their 2024 NBA Finals run. Off the court, a funny moment surfaced when Dave Portnoy joked about Flagg’s absence from Celebrity Family Feud. With the Mavericks in rebuilding mode, Flagg’s breakout season offers a bright future, especially with his efficient shooting splits: 46.8% FG, 29.5% 3PT, and 82.7% FT. He’s poised to become the cornerstone of Dallas’ resurgence in the tough Western Conference. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
