Overview

  • Flagg’s deal carries a total value of roughly $62.7 million with team options in the third and fourth seasons under the NBA’s rookie wage scale.
  • Head coach Jason Kidd plans to push Flagg into point guard duties early to test and accelerate his playmaking development.
  • The 6-foot-9 forward is set to make his NBA debut in Dallas’s Summer League opener on July 10 against the Los Angeles Lakers in Las Vegas.
  • As the lone rookie on a veteran-laden roster, Flagg joins a Mavericks squad reshaped by February’s cic-fDoncic-for-Anthony Davis trade gearing up for a title run.
  • The consensus No. 1 prospect led Duke to the Final Four and earned AP National Player of the Year honors in his lone collegiate season.
