US EditionCooper Flagg Looks Comfortable in New Home as No. 1 Pick Gets Introduced in Dallas
- On June 25, 2025, the Dallas Mavericks selected Duke standout Cooper Flagg as the first overall pick during the NBA Draft held in Brooklyn, New York.
- Flagg declared for the draft on April 21 after a standout freshman season at Duke, and the Mavericks won the draft lottery with only a 1.8% chance to secure the top pick.
- Throughout his college season at Duke, Flagg appeared in 37 games and posted averages of 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, just over four assists, and approximately one and a half each in blocks and steals per game. He led his team to the Final Four, where he topped all statistical categories during their semifinal defeat.
- Flagg measures 6 feet 8 inches tall with a 7-foot wingspan and can leap vertically up to 35.5 inches. Coach Jason Kidd expressed his intention to have Flagg play as the team's point guard, while Flagg emphasized his focus on continuously improving and gaining knowledge every day.
- The Mavericks anticipate that Flagg will attract significant attention throughout the NBA and believe his addition will be a key factor in their attempt to return to the playoffs, despite Irving’s delayed comeback and recent changes to the roster.
