Mavericks just found a dream Klay Thompson successor perfect for Kyrie Irving

The Dallas Mavericks' draft process was one of the easiest for the franchise in recent memory as the No. 1 overall pick fell into their lap, and Cooper Flagg was a no-brainer first overall selection out of Duke. While the Flagg hype train has been in full effect over the last week as the Mavericks have played in the Las Vegas Summer League, it only took two games for fans to realize he belonged in the NBA.

While Flagg was the only draft night selection the Mavericks made, they quickly signed both Ryan Nembhard and Miles Kelly to a two-way contract after the two fell out of the second round.
