Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd wants to play No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg at point guard next season.
Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd has a surprising plan for how he envisions No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg playing next season.
During Flagg’s introductory press conference on Friday, Kidd revealed that he sees Flagg as a potential point guard for the Mavericks.
"I want to put him at the point guard," Kidd said. "I want to make him uncomfortable, see how he reacts—being able to run the show."
When asked about his role with the Mavericks, Flagg said he envisions himself playing multiple positions.
"I think it’s a versatile position, doing a lot of different things," Flagg said. "We can play a really good brand of positionless basketball."
Flagg averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists this past season at Duke, leading the team to the NCAA Final Four.
