00:00so what are the expectations in terms of minutes tonight for cooper flag i know that was a question

00:20we were kicking around during crosstalk with knc earlier bobby like do we know this are we expecting

00:24a full game out of him or are there limitations maybe uh we don't know so him was at uh tim kato

00:31my colleague at the ls he was over at map shoot around this morning and there was nothing said

00:36about this ordinarily you're not going to see like firm minutes limits in summer league but for top

00:41picks and guys like this like sometimes it can be different you know if he goes out in the first half

00:46and the mavs are down 50 and he's just kind of playing lousy like maybe he doesn't play that

00:52much in the second half but i mean these are four 10 minute quarters so it's a shortened game anyway

00:57um you know and sometimes it can be a little chaotic back and forth and things like that but

01:03as long as you're avoiding risk of major injury like i don't see a reason to keep a limit on him

01:08he's 18 he's probably anxious to get out there and play get some run in and uh i would personally hope

01:13to see him out there for as much as possible because i think he might only play two games i

01:18think he might only play tonight and saturday and so it would be good to get him as much run as he

01:21possibly can in terms of role uh we know jason kidd has talked a lot about him kind of playing

01:26that point guard spot is that going to be something that we see in full force tonight

01:31it's possible you know they got ryan nemhart on a two-way deal uh he was a point guard at

01:37gonzaga for a couple years led the led the country in assists last year so he's definitely a point

01:41guard and only 5 11 and all that stuff and can handle the rock but jkid has said a lot he wants

01:47the ball in cooper's hands he wants to see what he can do and in summer league i mean it's like the

01:52perfect situation for that because you go out and make a bunch of mistakes make some sloppy passes

01:58some bad reads or whatever it doesn't cost you it doesn't hurt you you can just check the film and

02:02try and learn from it and get better uh for when the games start to count so i would expect to see

02:07him with the ball in his hands quite a bit but the one the one thing about that obviously is the

02:12navs don't have the bigs on the summer league team that they do on the nba team you know so you're

02:16going to have potentially lesser players be setting screens for him and you know maybe not as much

02:21momentum going downhill and all that stuff so it's not exactly an nba environment that he's going to

02:26be playing in but reps are reps and you know whether he's creating stuff or just isoing looking to score

02:32like the more the more he can have the ball in his hands you know during this experience the better

02:37you
