Cooper Flagg has a chance to unleash havoc in the NBA in a few months, just like Victor Wembanyama and LeBron James did when they were both rookies. Flagg was excited that the Mavs landed the No. 1 pick, as draft boards were eagerly prepared to pair Flagg with the Utah Jazz or the Washington Wizards. When the Mavs fell to No. 1 in the lottery, nobody could believe it. Now, the Mavs have their future in their post-Luka Doncic era that once seemed impossible.
Flagg is ready to pair up with his big men, Daniel Gafford, Dereck Lively II, and Anthony Davis, as he will make all three guys some of the best lob threats of the game with his playmaking abilities.
