This breathing and stretching exercise should be quite helpful to Lively. It takes 5 minutes. Your senses would be super sharp for extended period.

Re: Cooper Flagg -- Season 1 thread
I think the short-distance pass within the paint could create better offense in the biggest ways. It creates spacing for outside shooters. If you have 2-3 players who can hit at least 50% threes when opened.. And it creates offense boards. Not to turn the ball over is huge. That's the only way Pacers kept the series alive. What 8f you rarely turn the ball over in such situations? The steal per TO may change the rhythm on the floor. Then, you control the tempo tight.

After Kyrie evaluation of the ACL, Flagg could work all in for the PG role alongside Klay and PJ for the biggest starting lineup in the entire NBA ever. DoLo serves as a backup plan.

Re: Cooper Flagg -- Season 1 thread
Flagg as a PG in his first NBA season could be one of the worst mistake ever.
D-Lo will be our starter PG for sure. He and street clothes have a good connection.

Flagg isn’t going to be primarily a PG in his rookie season. He will bring the ball up on some plays, he will imitate the break on some plays and he will play PG on some plays. That doesn’t mean he’s going to be like Luka out there dribbling the air out of the ball and holding it for 20+ seconds. He will only run the point in small doses.

Both SAS and PHI do not play the 2nd and 3rd pick in the summer league.

Re: Cooper Flagg -- Season 1 thread
Watching Flagg's shooting practice, I think besides creating mismatches, quicker release with higher release point with decent percentage like Steph Curry could create opportunities.
Learn a Chandler Parsons, Andrea Bargnani and Luka Doncic could pay dividend.
Parsons pretend to shoot 3s a lot without both feet leaving the ground. It creates driving lanes.
Bargnani gets to the foul lines a lot when players try to close out. This is because of quick release and height advantages.
Doncic steps back creates space to shoot. When you have height advantages with excellent first steps, players on the one direction movement would be off balance if you steps back to shoot instead.
Of course, normal pick-n-roll, punish smaller defenders with a Dirk Euro one-legged fadeaway is also a plus.
Being able to throw a lob pass while moving to the right spots when attentions are concentrated on AD and DLive / Gafford. It becomes griving up a layup or offensive board situation.
This could change the floor game ridiculously. Then, off-ball movements and catch-n-shoot would help. Everything starts with quicker release and higher release point. The gravity will come with improved handles.
If you can start 2 40% 3 point shooters as well. The result is absolutely deadly. Teams really cannot defend effectively inside nor outside. Then, the Mavs could have win within 3 years.

If you can make the right reads and hits the clutch shots, then this is a go-to strategy to keep you winning games with size advantage.

Re: Cooper Flagg -- Season 1 thread
If your pure shooter teammates can punish smaller defenders effectively, it could create even more rooms to operation.
1. Being able to guard players with different size creates mismatches everywhere.
2. Recognizing mismatches to create strategies and dictate the tempo.
3. Mastering shooting and dribbling skills to creates gravity and go-to moves to take over game in clutch time.
4. Blowing out regularly and making good use of depth. Training up players for different playing styles and as tradable pieces.
5. Learn how to stay on court, I.e. injury-free and foul trouble-free.
In this way, the Mavs could win within the 3-year windows.

If Cooper Flagg ca develop this part of his game he’s going to be HIGE for the Mavs.

Re: Cooper Flagg -- Season 1 thread
Another good sign from Cooper Flagg. Everything I hear about his work ethic reminds me of how Dirk worked at his game. Not comparing the two I just like the kid’s work ethic.

Would you rather see Flagg gets double-digit assists or scoring 30-plus in SL?

Anyone know anything about the new strength and conditioning coach Geoff Puls?

Flagg, keep things simple. Do what's the best for the team? Don't bother about what you've been trained. Just recognize how opponents' defense is being set up, find the right way to win the mismatches.

Nice bounce back. That stop and 3 is in great rhythm. Unfortunately, it's not counted because of the foul.

Stretch your arms more straightly in long jumpers, three pointers or throw shots, with better follow-through. .

On this part, watch more how Ray Allen, Alan Houston and JJ Reddick is taking jumpers (including the preparation). But in game actions, just do what you can do best. Don't bother about what you've got to work on later.

Maybe taking some time to work with Dirk individually this summer.
