Many people reacted to Flagg's performance on social media.
Skip Bayless: "Cooper Flagg is getting more and more comfortable with his shot. He'll immediately average 20ish for the Mavs, though that could drop a little with Kyrie's return. Cooper Flagg just has such long explosive get-in-the-lane quickness."
Brett Siegel: "Well, Cooper Flagg looks like a pretty good player."
Mike Curtis: "Flagg just missed what would've been the best dunk of summer league."
Brett Usher: "Coop really is different. Can't believe this dude is 18. Scary to imagine what he's gonna look like in a few years. First time seeing him in person and his frame pops even more than I would've expected. And it's hard not to be excited about the way it appears they plan to use him"
Kevin O'Connor: "Cooper Flagg is the real deal."
