The Maine event from Duke has been officially selected as the number 1 pick of the draft by the Dallas Mavericks, and his family couldn’t be happier!
“I just hoped that he loved the game as much as we have and I am just thrilled that he did love it and he got to this moment, It’s incredible!” Those were the words of Cooper Flagg’s mother, Kelly, when asked what she envisioned the first time they placed a basketball in her son’s tiny hands
“It’s a dream come true.”
