One more thing.

I don't think Cooper Flag is hitting a rookie wall.

But if he is hitting one, Jason Kidd has some advice for him.

And this is true.

He's got to touch it.

He's got to rub it and hold it.

I'm not a doctor, so.

I don't know.

Sotna up change.

Nice penetrating thrust to the middle.

Hot man, the hot player. Wait, wait. One more thing. Fire it up. Yeah, you're still locked on to the Dallas Mavericks. Your team every day. My name is Nick Engstead. Media member covering the match for over 10 years. Today's episode is brought to you by Fanduel. before tip off, check out the Fandulow out and see what's dropping during NBA happy hour every Friday from 6 to 730 Eastern. It's one more thing. A bonus episode of Locktime Mabbs. If you missed the post game episode with me and slightly talking about the Mavs win over the Rockets, the Mavs just got the Rockets number, I guess. Cooper Flag had had a tough second half in that game, has had three kind of tough games in a row.

And this idea of a rookie wall has been brought up a couple times.

So I want to talk about that, talk about some of the numbers around him, and get into all that.

Let's start here.

This idea of a rookie wall is something that comes up every single year for players,

and especially players that have like a big minutes load or a big, you know, role on a team

where you get to a certain point in the season. And for Cooper Flagg, it's gotten to a point

where he's played in 35 games. He played, what, 34 games in college?

And you're like, all right, well, he's played more than a college season so far in the NBA.

We're only in January.

His college season goes, what, from like October till, you know, March.

That stretched out a lot longer.
