The consistency of VJ Edgecombe and Cooper Flagg leaves you speechless

At the same time, the Sixers have found the physical resources to take down the Mavericks in the 4th quarter, especially thanks to an 11-0 run led by Tyrese Maxey (38 points) and VJ Edgecombe (26 points). Already seen at his benefit the previous day at Madison Square Gardenthe rookie is playing as a manager, in the absence of Joel Embiid, Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr., and he received congratulations … Cooper Flagg (24 points).

“We both played a solid game”the Dallas winger officiates. “He really had a very good match. He was aggressive, he was going to his favorite spots, he was shooting and I knew that’s what he’s capable of. He’s a great player. I’ve been playing against him for a few years now, at a very high level of competition. I know what a competitor he is. He’s just a very high level player.”

Two precocious talents

Witnessing their duel, Anthony Davis enjoyed the spectacle. “Basketball is in the good hands of all these young people, not just these two…” considered an All-Star interior. “When the seniors decide to hang up, I think basketball will be in good hands. When I arrived, mostly from the third year we found our rhythm, discovered who we are. Today, young people are making a name from day one. So, yes, the future of basketball is in good hands.”

The precocity of their talent also impresses Nick Nourse, who points out their ability to adapt. “It’s amazing! The rookies have such a big impact, and that’s really something, especially when you consider that these two guys in particular are very young.” underlines the coach of Philadelphia. “In general, you see flashes of talent with most rookies: one really good game, then six more quiet ones. But they start doing it night after night. To me, that’s what the NBA is about. When I came into this league as an assistant and I saw players scoring 25 points a game, I just couldn’t believe they could do it night after night, the denials and the schemes continued over and over again.
