Cooper Flagg, who was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the first pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, has been the focus of a lot of attention, and Najee Marshall said that he is looking forward to fighting alongside his new teammate Cooper Flagg on the court and looks forward to the young small forward's continued progress.

The 18-year-old Cooper-Flag made his NBA Summer League debut against the Los Angeles Lakers, scoring 10 points and 4 assists in that game. Later, in the game against the San Antonio Spurs, Cooper-Flag scored 31 points for the Dallas Mavericks, performing very well.

Dallas Mavericks small forward Najee Marshall said, "I'm looking forward to playing alongside Cooper Flagg. As the No. 1 pick in the draft, he will definitely be under a lot of pressure. But he was able to play his natural style, and I think he has gotten rid of his nervousness. In the second game, he scored 30 points, so the new season is really worth looking forward to."

In addition, Cooper Flagg was facing the defense of Bronny James throughout the game, but he still managed to break through and make a long-range shot.

Naji Marshall said, "It's really fun, not just because it's against Bronny James, it would be just as exciting if it was anyone else. This can encourage our teammates, and he is still very young, such a scene will give him more confidence."

"I think Cooper Flagg has coped well and stayed calm and played his game the whole time, which is really important. That's the performance he gave, which was very impressive and I'm looking forward to seeing him continue to improve."
