Cooper Flagg's Physical Appearance is Turning Heads Before Summer League
Cooper Flagg's Physical Appearance is Turning Heads Before Summer League originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Cooper Flagg is set to appear in his first Summer League. Selected No. 1 overall by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2025 NBA Draft, expectations are high that Flagg will be able to make an immediate impact on the Mavs. Advertisement The 18-year-old forward is coming off a memorable season with the Duke Blue Devils, during which he averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists, while shooting 48.1% from the field and 38.5% from deep. Prior to being drafted, he had been compared to the likes of Scottie Pippen, Kawhi Leonard, Jayson Tatum and Lamar Odom, among many others. His first opportunity to show he can be a game-changer for Dallas will come in the Summer League. The Mavs are participating in the Las Vegas Summer League, which begins Thursday. In the build-of to the tournament, however, Flagg has been making headlines for a different reason. As the Mavs continue to promote Flagg and the rest of their Summer League team, fans couldn't help but take notice of the change in the youngster's physical appearance, particularly his facial hair. Advertisement Flagg already rocked a goatee during the NBA Draft, and since then, he has grown it a little bit more. Regardless, while some like it, others aren't big fans of it. "goatee flagg," a fan noticed. Another one shared, "That goatee adds so much aura to Cooper Flagg." "Goatee Flagg may be another animal," a third supporter added. A critic remarked, "He's gotta lose the Goatee." A fifth poster echoed a similar sentiment, writing, "Goatee is not it man." "He not cutting that goatee, huh?" a social media user stated.

Mavericks Rookie Cooper Flagg Admits Issue With His 31-Point Game
Mavericks Rookie Cooper Flagg Admits Issue With His 31-Point Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After a rather underwhelming Summer League debut, Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg bounced back against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday. Advertisement In the battle of the two Texas teams, Flagg exploded for 31 points on 10-of-21 shooting. The No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 NBA Draft also had four rebounds and an assist, while committing just two turnovers. Flagg outshined 2025 No. 2 overall pick Dylan Harper, who had 16 points for the Spurs. Harper, however, had six rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block. While the Mavs ended up losing 76-69, it was still an overall encouraging showing for Flagg. After all, in his first game against the Los Angeles Lakers, he was 5-of-21 from the field en route to scoring just 10 points. Dallas Mavericks forward Cooper Flagg (32) scored 31 points against the San Antonio Spurs in the Summer Ward-Imagn Images After the game, Flagg talked about his play and noticeable improvement, a clear sign that he has gotten more comfortable with the level of play. Nonetheless, he acknowledged that it still wasn't a great performance, pointing out his free throw shooting as a key issue. Advertisement The 18-year-old forward was 8-of-13 from the free throw line, something that Flagg says his mom won't be happy about. "Missed a bunch of free throws, my mom probably isn't very happy with that," Flagg said while talking to the media following the game, per Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints. There's certainly room for improvement for Cooper Flagg, but there's no denying that he showed against the Spurs the talent and skills that made him the best prospect in the class of 2025. Flagg and the Mavericks return to action on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. It will be an interesting matchup, as Flagg faces off against his former Duke Blue Devils teammate Kon Knueppel — the No. 4 overall pick in the 2025 draft.
