Mavericks general manager Nick Harrison said in an interview: "I think the most important thing is that he is an all-round offense and defense player. When you watch him play, you find that he works very hard. When a player is so good and people are talking about not just basketball skills, it is those invisible qualities, such a player will add value to the team's culture.

"I think we have to fight for victory now and lay the foundation for future victory." Although we don’t know the specific time, in the end this team will be Cooper’s world. We don't know when this transition will happen, so the goal now is not only to win, but also to prepare for the future. Although he should have graduated from high school this year, he will contribute to our current work. Therefore, he will not only help us win in the short term, but as an 18-year-old, he will also help the team develop in the long term. ”
