Jason McIntyre thinks there's no need to jump to conclusions after Cooper Flagg's Summer League debut against the Lakers.

League continues on Saturday, July 12 with No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks taking on No. 2 pick Dylan Harper and the San Antonio Spurs.

"I am so excited to see what he can do" - Grant Hill believes Cooper Flagg couldn't be in a better spot to thrive as a No. 1 pick originally appeared on Basketball Network.

Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg described his NBA Summer League debut as "one of the worst games of my life," but drew praise from coaches and opposing guard Bronny James after a win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

When the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Dallas Mavericks during NBA 2K26 Summer League in Las Vegas, fans all wanted to see the same thing.

While Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has the usual pressure of being the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft, the former Duke star is in a situation that sets up his rookie season to be tougher than even LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama’s first NBA campaigns.

Cooper Flagg went 5-21 in his Summer League debut, but Jason McIntyre says it’s time to relax and let him develop.
