Kidd: The Mavericks are the championship team, we can provide Flag with the best environment to grow

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd talked about the situation of Cooper Flagg, the popular candidate who signed the No. 1 pick in this year's NBA Draft.

Kidd said: Flag is only 18 years old (only 19 in December this year). Although he is very young, he has shown his talent in performing at high levels on both offense and defense this season in the NCAA field. Speaking about the current environment of the team, Kidd continued: Our team has many experienced veterans, such as Klay Thompson and Anthony Davis, and many players over the age of 30 (it is entirely out of respect to say that they are veterans). Compared to those teams who are completely in the reconstruction period, we can provide a more stable growth environment for rookies, and I think Clay can definitely give Flag a lot of help during the rookie season.

In addition, Kidd also emphasized some unique advantages that the Mavericks have, which are not available to other teams. Kidd pointed out that among other teams, Flag may be asked to take the lead immediately. But here, he will have these excellent teammates around him to share the pressure, and his path to becoming the number one star in the future will be much easier than now. We are a championship-level team, not a rebuilding team, he will receive all-round support from us.

In the NCAA game this season, Flag played 37 times for Duke, averaging 30.5 minutes per game, averaging 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 1.9 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 48.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 38.5%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 84%. With his outstanding performance throughout the season, Flag won the All-American Award and Julius Erving Award this year, he was the All-American Team No. 1, the ACC League's All-American Team No. 1, and the ACC League's All-American Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent Team No. 1, All-Agent

Mavericks unexpectedly won the No. 1 pick in the previous NBA Draft Lottery Ceremony, and judging from the current situation, Flag is definitely the best candidate for the No. 1 pick. To put it bluntly, it is basically a foregone conclusion that Flag joins the Mavericks. With Flag's joining, the Mavericks' lineup will become more complete and the team's competitiveness will be further improved. And in such a mature team, Flag, who already has a high level of maturity, may have a chance to improve rapidly in his ability? He will also quickly become a good NBA player?
