This article was originally published on www.si.com/nba/mavericks as Jason Kidd considers himself 'lucky' to coach Cooper Flagg on Mavericks.

Cooper Flagg has quickly lived up to his draft billing with some electric Summer League games. He looks like everything he was advertised to be. But at just 18 years old, some analysts and fans still have questions about how he’ll develop alongside established veterans.

"I had a great seat," Kidd said of a highlight dunk from Flagg. "I got excited to see No. 32 get an easy one and it was with a dunk. Again, he's shown that he can handle the press. I thought the Lakers sent a double-team on the first play of the game. I think that's out of respect."
