On October 23rd, US media outlet ClutchPoints published a message encouraging Flagg:
"Cooper Flagg will get even better. His debut may not have wowed everyone, but his potential is clear: 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 4-of-13 shooting."
"Flagg's opening game against the Spurs reminded me of Wenban Yama's debut against the Mavericks two years ago. In that game, Wenban Yama had 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists. His performance wasn't particularly impressive, and the Spurs lost, but Wenban Yama has gotten even better since then. We can also go back to LeBron James' NBA debut in 2003, when he scored 25 points, 6 rebounds, and 9 assists. Although the Cavaliers lost, James showed the world that at only 18, he has endless potential."
"Flagg is only 18 years old. He has a lot of room to grow. The future of Dallas is bright!"
