The first summer league game for number 1 draft pick Cooper Flagg was not the game he was hoping for. He only shot 5/21, not even 25% from the field. It already started bad when in the first minute Bronny James scored twice over him. Fun fact though Bronny started 2/2 and finished 2/8, classic.
Anyway, welcome to the NBA Cooper, it can only get better from this one, that's for sure. At least Dallas won in the end.
Well, Bronny can be called a stable player, considering he performed about the same way in the summer league last year.
As for Cooper, I was surprised by his stats. More specifically, he made so many shot attempts in this game, which is unusual for a rookie.
He’s been given the green light, and rightfully so.. he’s not just any rookie; he’s the number 1 overall pick. Most likely, he’ll be a starter right away, and this is the perfect time for him to get used to the NBA style and really familiarize himself with the system.
as for Bronny, man, I hope he gets more playing time next season and becomes more stable.. it’s tough seeing him constantly criticized, he’s clearly living under the shadow of his father, and that kind of pressure isn’t easy to carry.
