Versatile US college teen star Cooper Flagg is expected to be selected first overall by the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Draft.
-
The Mavericks nabbed the first pick after winning last month’s NBA Draft Lottery and are expected to take Flagg, an 18-year-old American who played last season for Duke University before opting into the draft.
Flagg was a consensus pick as the top US college player last season, averaging 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocked shots a game for the Blue Devils, who lost to Houston in the semi-finals of the national college tournament.
"It has been amazing," Flagg said. "It has been a blur since the end of the season, getting the training, but it has been exciting."
Flagg would be the second-youngest player taken first overall after LeBron James in 2003 and James, now a four-time NBA champion, says of Flagg — “I think he’s going to be amazing.”
