New Deputy In Dallas - A Dallas Mavericks 'Chise

[GM Rizzo]

Love the team choice man. Flagg is a superstar in the making. Folloowing for sure.

Appreciate the follow! I played a few minutes of the Minnesota game without jumping into practice mode and it was a complete disaster as you could imagine.

Then I went into practice mode to get a feel for his jumper, post moves and so that and ohhh boyyy was he nasty. I can’t wait to see what his skills look like once he reaches his potential.

Need to learn the game for sure. That way you can maximise Coops talents and build round that,

Feel like we will always be looking up to the Spurs and the Thunder in the Western Conference. Hoping we can put enough talent around Flagg to push both of them and, god forbid, surpass them. While the Thunder are the current best team in the West, I think the Spurs take that mantle within two seasons behind Wemby, Castle and Harper.

Outside of layups/dunks/threes, I don't have a ton of post/mid-range experience. Going to need that desperately to utilize Coop's skills to the fullest.

I suck at playing in the post, too many different directions to move the sticks to do different moves

Yeah, I’m no post expert myself but Cooper Flagg’s ratings on turn around jumpers is so high that I’ve been pretty successful getting defenders buried in the post and hitting turn around fade aways on them.

I need to learn how to score in the mid range when facing up. If anyone has tips on that I’m all ears.

Bagley could be the prototypical "second draft" type player where he's finally showing what he's capable of when he got drafted. While he's currently playing the 3rd big role off the bench, when Lively gets back next season it will be hard to find minutes for four different bigs. We will have some decisions to make on that end, for sure.

While I'm six games in, I've really only played the Minnesota game and then played a few minutes of each of the next three games (Pacers, Nets, Grizz). I like what PJ Washington brings, and we desperately need his shooting, but I don't have his jumpshot down at all so I'm not getting much out of him when I'm playing. I'm hoping over time I can find ways to get him so open corner looks to give Cooper Flagg room to operate on the interior.

As for the offseason, the big decision we will need to make revolves around Kyrie Irving. I'm really waffling between giving him a chance to fit in on this team and moving him for picks and another young piece to build around with Flagg. We will see what offers are out there this summer!
