The Cooper Flagg era for Dallas Mavericks is officially underway.
As expected, the MAVS made Duke Star the first choice in total in the recovery of the NBA on Wednesday, and Flagg spoke for the first time as a member of the organization shortly after.
“Incredible,” he said about the n ° 1 selection in total on the broadcast of ESPN. “It’s a dream come true to be honest. I wouldn’t want to share it with anyone else.”
Flagg entered the draft while the first alleged hope available after an average of 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 interceptions in its only season for Blue Devils, pulling 48.1% in the field and 38.5% of three.
The 18 -year -old has an impact on the game in almost all categories, at both ends of the soil, and his defense, his versatility and his creation of games should make him an instant contributor for the Mavericks.
Flagg should associate with Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving (once he recovers a torn ACL) to give Dallas a fascinating basic trio, and finally the reins will be given to the young attacker like the face of the franchise.
When the Mavericks won shockingly the NBA recovery lottery, it looked like a gift from the basketball gods after the team’s bizarre decision to exchange Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers. An era had closed, but now another begins.
