The NBA Draft Lottery is Monday night, meaning some lucky team will find itself with a promising start, and in some cases a clean slate — oh, there's a difference — if it gets its hands on Duke forward Cooper Flagg, this year's sure-fire No. 1 pick.
Flagg, who is 6-foot-9 and a two-way force at power forward who reminds many of Mavericks star Anthony Davis, is not only supremely athletic but has a floor game that should flourish with the more spaced-out NBA game.
By all accounts, Flagg could soon develop into a no-nonsense franchise player.
