The NBA Draft saw Cooper Flagg selected first overall by the Dallas Mavericks, fulfilling a long-awaited dream for the 18-year-old from Maine. Flagg expressed overwhelming emotions, thanking his family during the momentous occasion. The Mavericks, who intended Flagg as a fresh face for the franchise following their controversial trade of Luka Doncic, had earned the privilege after winning a highly improbable lottery with 1.8% odds. In contrast, Dylan Harper was picked second by the San Antonio Spurs, where he will join Victor Wembanyama and could flourish in a talented young roster.
I'm feeling amazing, Flagg said as he stood with his family. It's a dream come true, to be honest. I wouldn't want to share it with anybody else.
I think when you play with a bunch of great players, it brings the best out of you. They've got a great young core over there.
