I think if Dallas stays healthy and Cooper Flagg meets expectations then they could have a chance as well.
I hope that he's going to be treated differently as a rookie. Because most times, these rookies won't get a lot of playing time.
And maybe Kidd could give this kid a break and will show how effective he is. But with their roster being jampacked. I don't think that they'll ever get to see the full potential.
Maybe, I'm wrong.
He’ll get the time if he’s good enough. A lot of times rookies bodies aren’t ready for the NBA grind. LeBron got plenty of playing time his rookie year… I suspect we’ll be seeing around 25-30 minutes a game from Cooper Flagg this year, but you never know. The fact he got shut down in preseason so early to work on his body full time sort of shows he has the skills, they just need to prepare him physically.
We will see on the coming season.
And I guess with him being stopped on the preseason has something to do with himself being conditioned to the actual season that's about to come.
It's more important to keep him healthy for that than of the preseason games.
