If you like advanced stats and want to get pumped up about some Cooper Flagg, this may be the video for you. The guy makes a ton of good points. One take away for me personally...I've spent some time looking at the rookie campaigns for the comps like Grant Hill or Jayson Tatum et al to see what to expect in year one. I may should be looking at year 3 for those guys.
I've seen it said that if Flagg is a top 50 player in the NBA this season, the Mav's could be really good if the other two stars (AD and Kyrie) are healthy. If you look at who the ranking systems (Athletic or ESPN or...) puts in spots 40-50, it isn't hard to imagine Flagg being low 40's to high 30's. It is a lot, but he's nowhere near a finished product and arguably further along than Lebron or Kobe were at the same age.
