Kidd intends to develop point forwards: Flagg s offensive performance in the point guard role is very good

12:35pm, 27 October 2025【Basketball】

Flagg has already played two official games in the NBA. The Mavericks have always placed him at the point guard position due to Irving's injury. This actually made him feel a little uncomfortable. The team made 21 turnovers against the Wizards. However, Kidd mentioned that until everyone is healthy, they will continue to use the lineup with Cooper Flagg as the point guard.

But overall, Flagg still did his job well, and tried his best to sort out the team's offense to a certain extent

bringing the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and then turning around to give the ball to the inside

he found an open space in a short pass and passed the ball to the left corner

which also gave him a three-point chance at the top of the arc

In addition to his passing, he is also skilled in breakthroughs and three-pointers.

Kidd intends to train Flagg to be a ball-handling organizer. He averaged 6.2 assists per game in high school and frequently used pick-and-roll offenses with the ball in college, including his performance in the first two games of the regular season, which proves that he has the vision and decision-making ability of a point guard. With comprehensive skills, he becomes the hub of the team on both offense and defense. On the offensive end, he can not only initiate pick-and-rolls with the ball, but also open up space through downward or outside shooting (38.5% three-point shooting rate). On the defensive end, his wingspan and defensive switching ability cover multiple positions, and can reduce the opponent's shooting percentage when assisting in defense.

Don’t forget that Kidd was the head coach when Antetokounmpo grew up.
