Jason Kidd praised 18-year-old Cooper Flagg, noting his versatility on the court, and expressed interest in the Mavericks’ draft plans for him, referencing a past Duke player. Despite Flagg’s potential, some executives believe he may not reach the same “generational” status as recent No. 1 picks like Victor Wembanyama, with differing opinions on his star potential. Kidd also commented on the surprise of the Mavericks’ lottery success and confirmed the departure of Luka Doncic after a seven-year tenure, wishing him well post-trade.
