Jason Kidd Deserves A LITTLE Credit for Cooper Flagg's Development but Not All of it

Does Jason Kidd deserve credit for Cooper Flagg’s breakout start, or is the Dallas Mavericks star’s rise all talent and roster construction? Breaking down Cooper Flagg’s usage rate, Mavs on/off stats, Kyrie Irving’s role, and who deserves “credit cookies” for the Mavs’ 2-2 start to the NBA season.
Nick Angstadt hands out credit cookies for the Dallas Mavericks’ season so far, digging into Jason Kidd, Dusty May, and how much credit Cooper Flagg deserves for his elite start. Nick also looks at how Dusty May has handled Zaccharie Risacher, the unsung workhorse play of PJ Washington, and the guard rotation of Marcus Sasser, Walter Clayton Jr., Sergio De Larrea, and Naji Marshall. What credit do Mavs Team President Masai Ujiri and Mavs GM Mike Schmitz get for the roster, and what does it mean for Dereck Lively II, Daniel Gafford, and the Mavs ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder?
