“I think it’s been huge. I think team-wise, just getting a feel, it’s a different game. Different spacing, different levels,” Flagg said. “I have to find ways to help AD more, play off him a little better, help him impact the game when he’s posting up, getting his isos and whatnot, so I have to find a way to help him a little bit more.

“But it’s been huge just trying to fit together. That’s what preseason is for. Just for us to come out and get those real game minutes together and kind of gel.”

If Flagg and Davis can gel together, Dallas could become a real threat in the Western Conference. Once Irving returns, the Mavericks could become championship favorites.
