Why The Giannis Point Guard Role Was NEVER A Comp For Cooper Flagg

ONE MORE THING: Jason Kidd's approach to developing Cooper Flagg draws comparisons to his work with Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee, but are the Dallas Mavericks setting up their rookie for success? With Anthony Davis potentially missing the Mexico City game and the Mavs struggling offensively early in the NBA season, questions arise about whether Kidd's point-forward experiment with Cooper Flagg mirrors his Giannis strategy or if the situations are fundamentally different.

Isaac Harris breaks down why the Cooper Flagg-Giannis comparison doesn't hold up, examining roster construction around both players, shooting percentages of teammates like Klay Thompson, PJ Washington, and Naji Marshall, and the timeline of when Kidd actually implemented the point guard role with Giannis. Harris also discusses Anthony Davis's injury status ahead of the Mexico City game and what it means for the Mavs rotation.
