The Dallas Mavericks made the not-so-surprising decision to shut down Cooper Flagg earlier this month following his second game of NBA Las Vegas Summer League. Two starts was more than enough for management to see that Flagg is ready to go as a rookie and projected impact player in the Mavericks' lineup.

Golden State rookie Taran Armstrong did not play last season, but the rookie still learned a thing or two from Steph Curry and the Warrior vets

The Dallas Mavericks were among the first to shut down a star rookie during the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. First overall pick Cooper Flagg had a disappointing debut against the Los Angeles Lakers, scoring just 10 points on 5/21 shooting. He bounced back in the second game against the San Antonio Spurs, scoring 31 points on 10/20 shooting.

Gabe Madsen makes six first-half 3-pointers, Richard and Toohey look solid as Jazz sit both high-profile rookies.

The Las Vegas Summer League can become a must-watch event for basketball fans. Maybe it's because you're a fan of a team with a top-tier rookie participating or maybe you want to watch your favorite college basketball player from two years ago try to earn his spot in the NBA.
