Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd is already plotting ways to challenge Cooper Flagg. Kidd knows what kind of skillset the No. 1 pick brings to the table, but he emphasized on Friday that the upcoming NBA Summer League will be a chance for Flagg to expand his game in a role that’s atypical for him.

Flagg was the team's only selection in the 2025 NBA Draft, and they have major plans for the former Duke star. It has been reported that Mavs head coach Jason Kidd sees Flagg similar to Grant Hill, as someone who can have the ball in his hands as a point forward. That'll immediately be out to the test.

General manager Nico Harrison didn't have to do much more draft prep after the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA draft lottery.
