Davis said one of the team’s priorities has been accelerating Cooper Flagg’s learning curve by putting him into more challenging reads and more physical matchups. The goal, he said, is to give Flagg a controlled environment to fail, adjust, and grow while still helping Dallas win games. “He’s playing free,” Davis said. “We want everybody to play free. He’s going to draw a lot of attention because of who he is. He has a target on his back. Teams are going to put the toughest wing defender on him, pressure him. We’re trying to get him ready — help him figure out how to play against pressure, where his spots are. He’s making big plays.”Dallas Hoops JournalThis article originally appeared on Hoops Hype: Anthony Davis on Cooper Flagg: ‘He’s making big plays’
