“I think it's a new environment, a new environment,” said Flagg after the 76:69 defeat on Saturday against San Antonio. “You want me to be aggressive and make this kind of stuff.
“I think I did a lot better today, just got into the line, polluted and that helped me to feel comfortable and let myself go at an early stage. I still missed a few free throws. I know that my mother was probably not very satisfied with it.”
Josh Broghamer, coach of Mavericks Summer League, said Flagg “continues to play the right games” and praised the 6-foot 9 rookie for his work “Off The Ball” during the game on Saturday.
The decision of the MAVS to close flag was reported for the first time on Sunday by the experienced NBA reporter Marc Stein.
