Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has gotten off to a sensational start to his NBA career, with the Maine native listed as the overwhelming favorite to win Rookie of the Year.
With the 2026 NBA All-Star Game approaching, where does Flagg rank with two rounds of fan voting completed?
Luka Dončić and Giannis Antetokounmpo remain the leaders in their conferences in the second fan returns in NBA All-Star Voting 2026.

Flagg is the only rookie in the top 20 of either conference. In the West, he comes in at No. 16, sandwiched between Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray and Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker.
The All-Star Game starters are determined by fan voting (50%), players (25%) and the media (25%). Voting ends Jan. 14. The game will be held Feb. 15 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
Flagg is averaging 18.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game and is the only rookie to rank in the top five of all three categories this season among the first-year players.
Despite Flagg’s impressive start, the Mavs have struggled with a 14-23 record. However, they have won their last two games and can tie their season-high winning streak with a victory at the Utah Jazz on Thursday.
