The Dallas Mavericks lucked out, landing the No.1 overall pick, giving them a chance to select Duke phenom Cooper Flagg, a player widely regarded as a generational talent. The top-pick player is seen as a significant turning point for a franchise that endured a turbulent couple of months following an NBA Finals run just a season ago.

Jason Kidd envisions a monstrous lineup with Cooper Flagg at shooting guard, creating defensive chaos for Mavericks.

It’s been one week since the Dallas Mavericks shook up the NBA landscape — for the second time in nearly four months — by securing the No. 1 pick in next month’s draft. It’s presumable Cooper Flagg will be the first name Adam Silver calls June 25 and will be wearing a Mavericks hat during his obligatory photo with the longtime NBA commissioner.
