Dallas Mavericks star rookie Cooper Flagg is facing high expectations entering his first year in the NBA, but he received a vote of confidence from a fellow No. 1 draft pick.

Blake Griffin believes rookie Cooper Flagg is in a great situation with the Mavericks and has all of the tools to have a successful career in the NBA.

Griffin also believes that Flagg, unlike most first-overall picks, will be set up for success with the Mavericks, a team that boasts the likes of Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, Dereck Lively II and P.J. Washington on its roster.
