Does Jason Kidd deserve credit for Cooper Flagg’s breakout start, or is the Dallas Mavericks star’s rise all talent and roster construction? Breaking down Cooper Flagg’s usage rate, Mavs on/off stats, Kyrie Irving’s role, and who deserves “credit cookies” for the Mavs’ 2-2 start to the NBA season.
Nick Angstadt hands out credit cookies for the Dallas Mavericks’ season so far, digging into Jason Kidd, Dusty May, and how much credit Cooper Flagg deserves for his elite start. Nick also looks at how Dusty May has handled Zaccharie Risacher, the unsung workhorse play of PJ Washington, and the guard rotation of Marcus Sasser, Walter Clayton Jr., Sergio De Larrea, and Naji Marshall. What credit do Mavs Team President Masai Ujiri and Mavs GM Mike Schmitz get for the roster, and what does it mean for Dereck Lively II, Daniel Gafford, and the Mavs ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder?

The Dallas Mavericks beat the Miami Heat behind an 11-assist night from Cooper Flagg, and head coach Dusty May revealed why he’ll never tell Zaccharie Risacher to stop shooting. Why does Dusty May see Cooper Flagg as the Mavs’ top playmaker with 15-20 assist games ahead, and what did Kyrie Irving say about Risacher’s effort in this NBA win?
Nick Angstadt breaks down Dusty May’s “next shot” mentality, how it differs from the Jason Kidd era, and what it means for Mavs role players like Zaccharie Risacher, PJ Washington, and Max Christie. Nick explains why Dusty May called Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving superstars, and how the Mavs view Cooper Flagg as their point guard. Plus, Walter Clayton Jr. scored 15 points in 17 minutes on a two-way deal, and Nick looks at what that means for a guard room with Sergio de Larrea, Marcus Sasser, and Naji Marshall.
