2025 NBA DRAFT: Where should the new Maverick Cooper Flagg be enrolled in the Fantasy Basketball light?
The Dallas Mavericks selected Cooper Flagg with the overall choice n. 1 In the Bozza NBA 2025 And now, he is landing in a list of Maverks who needs – and adapts – his ability, but is structured to unleash him from the first day.
From the fantasy point of view, this is not the typical “deterrent” Wait-and-wee “deterrent scene. Flagg is walking in a foreground role with a green traffic light to contribute through the statistics sheet. With the elite tools, a body ready for the NBA and the intangibles that the coaches love, is ready to have an impact both in the championships of the points and the category.
Announcement
The question is not If Flagg will be drawn up in standard championships: this is how soon you will have to reach. Let’s immerse ourselves.
Because Cooper Flagg is ready for fantasy
Flagg arrives in Dallas with a refined rare ability for a 18 years: dominant score and defensive instincts, elite athleticism, advanced court vision and in addition to bouncing from the wing that will adapt perfectly to the Jason Kidd system.
That versatility also translates directly into imagination. In the only collegial season of Flagg in Duke, he scored on average 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 3S, 1.4 stolen and 1.4 blocks per game, with shooting divisions 48/39/84. He was one of the two D1 players who led his team in the five main statistical categories (PTS, REBS, ASTS, STLS, Blks/G). A special player who has the tools to cause chaos from the first day.
As Cooper Flagg accumulates with history
It is never easy to perform under the pressure of being the overall choice n. 1. In the last decade, the only choices n. 1 To finish among the top 100 in their beginner seasons, Victor Wembanyama, Karl-Anthony Towns and Deandre Ayton were Victor.
Announcement
Projet Flagg to be a top-60 player, with the positive side for more information. His defensive ability and the absence of the early season of Kyrie Irving could initially expand his role, opening greater game potential for the debutant.
Where to draw Cooper Flagg in Fantasy basketball next season
The maverks have a clear journey to give them over 30 minutes a night from the beginning. It will be in the starting unit and when Factoring in its all -round production, Proietto will mark at least 34 fantasy points per game.
In the 9 -categories championships, Flagg does not have many holes in his game. Although I don’t expect it to have a 30%use rate, as Duke did, I am encouraged by his turnover of 16.3%, which is relatively low for a player who plans to be a second or third score option. The area of ​​opportunities is 3 -point shooting. During the last 18 games of his collegiate career, he shot 44% from 3 points, compared to 22% during his first 10 games. It’s always nice to see improvements during the season. Having said that, I expect Flagg to be a multi-category asset with double-position admissibility to Small Forward and Power Forward.
Final verdict: I hate the drafting of the debutants at the beginning of the imagination (complete dissemination). However, Flagg will be a strength, guided by his volume of score, use, efficiency and potential of standard. I would feel comfortable to draw it in the fifth round in points or category championships, but the fantasy managers will probably see him dominate the Summer League of Las Vegas and will end up with an ADP up to the third or fourth round of the Hub.
