Mavericks No. 1 Scholar: I want to win the honor of the best rookie of the year, Jordan is my GOAT

The Dallas Mavericks previously held a new season media day event. During this summer, the team was interviewed by a reporter by Cooper Flagg, a former Duke forward star who was selected with the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft this summer. In the interview, he also talked about his expectations for the rookie season and his experience of meeting Michael Jordan at an event this summer.

When talking about his expectations for a rookie season, Flag said: I think the most important thing is to be yourself, really. All I have to do is to keep going step by step without changing for anyone’s vision. Obviously I have to influence the game in many ways and do my best to help the team win more victories in such a high-level game. I hope I can win the honor of Rookie of the Year. Next, Flag talked about his experience of meeting Michael Jordan at an event this summer. He continued: Meeting Michael Jordan is the greatest moment in my life. He is my GOAT and the greatest basketball player I have always thought of. I think seeing him is a dream come true for me. It is great that he can take time to meet me. I hope to learn from him and achieve something in the NBA.

Flag was born in December 2006 at the age of 18. According to data from the previous joint trial physical test, Flag's bare feet were 202.6cm, his wingspan was 213.4cm, his standing height was 270.5cm, and his weight was 100.2kg. In the NCAA game last season, Flag made a total of 37 appearances for Duke, averaging 30.5 minutes per game, with 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. He shot 48.1% from the field, 38.5% from three-point shooting percentage and 84% from free throws. In the previous NBA summer league, Flag played 2 times for the Mavericks, averaging 31.4 minutes per game, with averaging 20.5 points, 5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1 block, and 1.5 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 35.7%, his three-point shooting percentage was 21.4%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 57.1%.

Frager has rich offensive methods and comprehensive scoring abilities on the offensive end. He is a reliable scorer and has certain passing ability and support ability. Not only that, Flag's role on the defensive end is also very obvious. He can use his super physical talent and athletic ability to provide a lot of support to the team on the defensive end. If the development goes well, Flag has the opportunity to grow into an all-round forward player with both offense and defense. The problem is that Flag is just a rookie and there is a lot of uncertainty in him. In this case, can Flag withstand the pressure and prove that he is worthy of the title of No. 1 Scholar?
