Nico Harrison says the Mavericks will play a different style of basketball with Cooper Flagg, praising his versatility and elite two-way skill set.

Dallas made it official Wednesday, selecting Flagg with the top pick and officially ushering in a new era of Mavericks basketball. After the selection, Harrison spoke with media members where he was asked if he hopes the criticism of him will fade with Flagg on the roster.

No matter where he plays, Flagg will give the Mavs’ creaking core some much-needed juice. Which is enough, at least for now.
