Misschien niet op het grootste podium, misschien stond er niet veel op het spel, maar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbamaniacs.com\/noticias\/cooper-flagg-es-el-numero-1o-del-draft-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cooper Flagg<\/a> maakte vroeg in de ochtend zijn debuut in het shirt van de Dallas Mavericks. De resultaten waren\u2026 wisselvallig. De rookie had moeite om te schitteren in een optreden vol missers, maar hij greep toch zijn moment in de crunch time en bezorgde zijn team een 87:85-zege op de Lakers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gretig om te schitteren<\/h2>\n<p>Vanaf de openingssprong wilde Flagg een statement maken in zijn debuut. Zijn teamgenoten gaven hem in de eerste paar aanvallen de bal, zodat hij zijn eerste basket kon scoren. Hoewel zijn eerste schoten niet vielen, maakte dat zijn eerste punten des te gedenkwaardiger: een steal, een coast-to-coast en een krachtige dunk waar de verdediging alleen maar naar kon kijken. Eerste highlight. Het Flagg-tijdperk was begonnen.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"700\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">COOPER FLAGG&#39;S FIRST BUCKET IN A MAVS UNIFORM IS A BIG-TIME SLAM \u203c\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NBA2KSummerLeague?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">#NBA2KSummerLeague<\/a> on ESPN <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/h7Ta564bS8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/h7Ta564bS8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NBA (@NBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA\/status\/1943466935867277529?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">July 11, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Bemoedigd door dat openingsmoment liet de No. 1 pick vervolgens zijn beste acties van de wedstrijd zien. Eerst een mid-range jumper, daarna een 2+1 in transition. Het begon te lijken op zo\u2019n Summer League-debuut dat meteen een duidelijk signaal afgeeft: \u201chier ben ik.\u201d Maar daarna gebeurde precies het tegenovergestelde.<\/p>\n<p>Het aanvallende succes bleef Cooper Flagg grotendeels ontgaan, ondanks zijn constante drang naar het bord. Zijn pogingen wilden niet vallen\u2014zelfs een dunk of twee sprongen er weer uit\u2014en al snel was duidelijk dat dit niet zijn avond was. Van zijn 15 field goals in de eerste helft gingen er maar vijf in, en ook na de rust werd het niet veel beter.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Winnende indruk<\/h2>\n<p>Misschien geraakt door zijn worstelingen, nam de forward in de tweede helft wat gas terug en liet hij teamgenoten als Myles Kelly en Ryan Nembhard het voortouw nemen. Zo kwamen de Mavericks terug in de wedstrijd die uit hun handen leek te glippen. Na een eerste helft vol aandacht voor de rookie schakelde hij later een tandje terug en verloor zijn scoringsritme: hij bleef puntloos in de tweede helft. Toch maakte hij het verschil toen het moest.<\/p>\n<p>Met de Lakers op 85:84 en nog iets meer dan een minuut op de klok blockte Flagg het schot van D.J. Steward, pakte de bal om de fast break in te zetten, en bediende Nembhard voor een cruciale driepunter die Dallas in het beslissende moment op voorsprong zette. Er stonden nog 63 seconden op het bord, maar de stand veranderde niet meer. De Mavericks begonnen Summer League in Las Vegas met een overwinning.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"690\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">COOPER FLAGG REJECTION \u274c<br \/>RYAN NEMBHARD 3 \ud83c\udfaf<\/p>\n<p>Dallas goes up 2 with less than a minute to play on ESPN! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aIQl7TdCgl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/aIQl7TdCgl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NBA (@NBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA\/status\/1943490701578174759?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">July 11, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Het was dus een debuut vol hoogte- en dieptepunten voor de voormalige Duke-ster, die verdedigend indruk maakte en ook veelbelovend was als ballhandler en passer, maar in de halfcourt offense nooit zijn draai vond. Behalve \u00e9\u00e9n schot scoorde hij alleen in transition. Toch is dit pas het begin. Zaterdag krijgt hij een nieuwe kans om te bewijzen dat hij de rookie met het meeste potentieel in deze lichting is.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Uitblinkers<\/h2>\n<p>Hoewel Cooper Flagg de grootste publiekstrekker was, sprongen deze spelers er het meest uit.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ryan Nembhard<\/h3>\n<p>De jongere broer van Andrew kwam naar Las Vegas om zich te laten zien. Met 21 punten en 5 assists was hij de beste speler van de Mavericks, en hij werd de held door de winnende driepunter te scoren.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cole Swider<\/h3>\n<p>Na zijn vuurwerk bij de California Classic zette hij zijn hot streak in Vegas voort met een driepuntenshow.

Hij liet opnieuw zien dat hij iemand is om in de gaten te houden.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Miles Kelly<\/h3>\n<p>Net als Nembhard greep ook deze two-way-speler van de Mavericks de kans om zijn waarde te bewijzen.
