DALLAS MAVERICK GM NICO HARRISON ON COOPER FLAGG HAS NOTHING TO PROVE BETWEEN HIM AND LUKA DONCIC!…..
Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison made headlines recently when asked about a potential future pairing of top prospect Cooper Flagg and superstar Luka Dončić. Speaking candidly, Harrison expressed strong admiration for Flagg’s game, saying, “Cooper Flagg has nothing to prove—his skill, mentality, and maturity at such a young age speak for themselves.” Harrison emphasized that Flagg’s all-around impact and defensive instincts are rare for someone his age, calling him “a special kind of player who doesn’t need to audition for anyone.”

When comparing Flagg with Luka Dončić, Harrison was clear: “It’s not about who’s better—it’s about how they could elevate each other.” He pointed out that Luka has already proven himself as one of the league’s elite, and adding a high-IQ, two-way player like Flagg would only enhance what the Mavericks could do on both ends of the floor. “We’re always looking at the future,” Harrison said, “and when a talent like Cooper comes along, you take notice.”
While Flagg’s NBA journey has yet to begin, Harrison’s confidence underscores the buzz surrounding the young phenom. Though no moves are imminent, it’s clear the Mavericks are dreaming big—and keeping a close eye on the future.
