The San Antonio Spurs open the season against the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas, Wednesday.

In a night where a few top rookies had outstanding debuts (hello, VJ Edgecombe), Cooper Flagg was not one of them. He was scoreless in the first half and only attempted two shots before finally being more aggressive in the third quarter. He'd finish with 10 points and 10 rebounds on 4/13 shooting, but I'll discuss him more in a minute.
