18-year-old had brilliant college career with Duke
Mavs only had 1.8% chance of winning No 1 overall pick
The Dallas Mavericks did what everyone knew they would on Wednesday when they selected Cooper Flagg as the No 1 overall pick in the NBA draft.
“I’m feeling amazing. It’s a dream come true, to be honest,” Flagg said after he was selected, surrounded by his family. “I wouldn’t want to share it with anybody else.”
The forward was brilliant in his single year of college basketball at Duke, which had come after he was a highly touted player in high school.
