On November 10, the new NBA regular season will continue. Despite his unsatisfactory performance after the start of the game, according to calculations by the US media PolymarketSport, Flagg, the Mavericks' top pick, is still the favorite for the Rookie of the Year, with a probability of being selected as high as 42%!

So far this season, Flagg has averaged 32.5 minutes per game, 13.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.2 steals, shooting 40.3% from the field and 27% from three-point range. The Mavericks have a record of only 3 wins and 7 losses, ranking second from the bottom in the Western Conference. It is worth mentioning that due to the poor record of the Mavericks and the fact that Flagg has not produced explosive statistics such as 30+ in a single game like other rookies, Flagg's performance so far has been underestimated by many people.

However, according to PolymarketSport, in the latest best rookie probability, Flagg is still the player most likely to be elected as the best rookie. His probability of being elected is currently 42%, higher than Edgecombe's 38% and Knipel's 8%. In addition, according to statistics from the NBA official website, in the past three games, Edgecombe averaged 10 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1.7 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 29.3%; Flagg averaged 14.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 43.2%.

Regarding Flagg's current situation, Nowitzki of the Mavericks gave encouragement: "Cooper, I know you have great athletic ability. All you have to do is work hard to overcome difficulties, go to the gym more, integrate into the team, and watch more videos, and you will get better. The bottom line is, no matter what Whether you win or lose, you have to maintain a good attitude and make progress every day. Dare to take action at critical moments in the game can help you reach that position faster. So, train hard and keep your head up, and everything will be fine."
