Cooper Flagg, the 18-year-old small forward of the Dallas Mavericks, made his NBA Summer League debut in a game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Cooper Flagg said he felt a little nervous during the game, but he was still looking forward to continuing to play for the team.
Ryan Nembhard, Myles Kelly and Cooper Flagg contributed points to the Dallas Mavericks' 87-85 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in this NBA Summer League game.
Cooper Flagg, who contributed 10 points and 4 assists for the Dallas Mavericks in this game, said, "I am very excited. I am indeed a little nervous in such an environment, but I enjoy the atmosphere here. This game is very energetic, there are many spectators, and the game is tense and enthusiastic. This is exactly why we play and fight for such moments and games."
In addition, Los Angeles Lakers point guard Bronny James said about Cooper Flagg, "He is probably half a head taller than me. He is really good. I often watched him play in college. He is an excellent player."
Cooper Flagg said, "I don't know his exact height, but when a guard of his height defends me, I have to seize this opportunity and use my height advantage. But it's nothing special, just part of the normal game, but it's really fun."
"I've probably never taken so many shots in a game, so this is new for me. I'm just going to continue to learn and move forward, it's a new experience and I'm really looking forward to it."
