Evan Turner has just one thing to say about Giannis Antetokounmpo after watching Cooper Flagg
Evan Turner has made a bold statement about Giannis Antetokounmpo after Cooper Flagg’s brilliant start to his second season. The Dallas Mavericks teenager was brilliant in the last campaign and deservedly won the Rookie of the Year award.
Evan Turner has made a surprising statement about Giannis Antetokounmpo after watching Cooper Flagg's impressive performance in the Mavericks' recent game against the Heat. While Flagg and Antetokounmpo put on a show, both scoring 29 points and dishing out 11 assists, Dallas ultimately won by four points. Despite Antetokounmpo's status as one of the best in the game, Turner believes Flagg outperformed him, particularly in his ability to lead his team.
Turner, speaking on the Open Floor NBA Talk show, said: "Hey, I was sceptical, bro, but Cooper... He could have had 40-something. He literally was getting his guys in like that. Hey, that’s a bad boy, bro." Turner continued, praising Flagg's "chill ‘I know how to win’ type" approach, noting that he "was almost like: ‘Wait, I know how to win.’"
Turner described Flagg as "hooping with his little bros" and stated that he should have had a 40-point triple that night. The Dallas Mavericks' rising star still has much to learn and achieve, but early signs are extremely positive, and Mavericks fans can look forward to watching Flagg's growth.
