Cooper Flagg and Ryan Nembhard rule
This week’s SB React poll for Dallas Mavericks fans was NBA Summer League focused. I wanted to know what you thought about the play of Cooper Flagg and the rest of the roster. The first question asked if you were pleased with Flagg’s performance in those two games.
That 19 out of 20 respondents were happy with Flagg is good to know. I have to assume that one person who wasn’t only saw game one or takes issue with how Dallas used Flagg. He’s that good and there are a lot of Fan Duel odds on specific Flagg-natured bets that you might want to consider. The +440 odds on two triple doubles from Flagg looks very interesting to me.
This question was a little more complicated, though still a softball. Part of me assumed fans would be accepting of whatever Nembard did and more into Miles Kelly. Nembard’s actual play was a bit mixed, but I can see the vision for what the Mavericks have for him. Kelly’s a pretty fascinating player. He looked like he fit in on the court within the team structure but also had the skill and talent to stand out.
I think the Mavericks will be tempted to play Nembard a lot while on that two-way deal. He can only be in uniform 50 games so we may not see him earlier in the season while the roster works itself out. However, I do think he’ll see action as the season moves along. He’s an actual point guard and Dallas needs that.
