Cooper Flagg wouldn’t be the first Jon Scheyer-coached Duke player to suit up for the Dallas Mavericks. If Flagg is drafted by the Mavs in June ( as is widely expected ), he would get a chance to team up with Dereck Lively II. Like Flagg, Lively spent just one season at Duke before entering the professional ranks.

Duke made its feelings known on Wednesday after the Dallas Mavericks landed the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft Lottery and the right to select Cooper Flagg—posting a not-so-subtle graphic on social media with a simple caption.

Recruiting sites listed Cooper Flagg at 6-foot-9 when the eventual Duke basketball superstar was a senior at Montverde Academy in Florida. And the phenom talent from Maine, projected to hear his name No.

Well, Giannis Antetokounmpo is reportedly "open-minded" about considering a trade away from the Milwaukee Bucks, per ESPN's Shams Charania. And that could be enormously significant for the Warriors, considering the two-time MVP has "been known to be a dream target of the Warriors for a long time," per Sam Amick of The Athletic.

Duke Blue Devils basketball phenom Cooper Flagg showing up in Dallas will cause changes to the Mavericks, including several significant trades.
