Cooper Flagg continues to keep quite the company.

The Dallas Mavericks' No. 1 overall draft pick out of Duke is putting together an impressive, record-setting, history-making rookie season.

He kept it up on Saturday night.

Flagg became the third teenager in NBA history with three consecutive games of at least 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

The first two were LeBron James and Luka Doncic, according to ESPN.

Facing the Sacramento Kings, Flagg put up 23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

The Mavs lost, so Flagg won't be particularly filled with his statistics.

This is all part of his development, though. Flagg has started to put up big numbers, and now he has to continue to figure out ways to bring his teammates along with him.

Without Flagg, Dallas would be in even rougher shape.

With Flagg, they have a reason to believe for the future, to get ready, and to see where this impressive, lanky athlete can take them.
