LeBron, Curry, or Durant all got a pretty good amount of minutes in their debut season in the NBA. Meanwhile, Jokic and Giannis got relatively limited minutes in their first season, but that didn't stop them from becoming great players. I mean, even if Flagg gets a few minutes in his first season, it doesn't mean he won't become an all-star player in the following seasons.
Lebron did, but Curry really wasn't who he was at the rookie season neither, he just played at the position because of injuries and all that, I remember back when Baron Davis was their point guard. Flagg could play, because they do not have many more neither, Doncic did too, because they didn't had anyone else.
So when a player plays a lot on their rookie season, not because they are already great, but because the team has nobody better, that results with plenty of minutes but the player is not great yet. But that's great, because first year being great minutes, equals second year being easier, and then fourth year is when they start to peak and get better. So cooper has 4 seasons, and after 4 seasons, he will show the world what kind of star he will be or he won't be.
Yeah right, but depending on what will going to happen after this upcoming season, we know he got the talent and if the chemistries between him and the rest of the team blends well, chances that he can maximize his capabilities the way Luka did it back then, just like you said he might got enough minutes it will going to be depend on him if how he'll take that chance to show up and bring everything in.
