The NBA draft combine is in full swing at Wintrust Arena. Here’s what likely No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg and other top players are saying.

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.

During the prime of his career, Mavericks great Dirk Nowitzki often was unfairly compared to Larry Bird. Potentially, eventually, Flagg might be the much better Bird comp because of his two-way abilities; he’s more athletic than Bird and Nowitzki.

Duke Blue Devils basketball phenom Cooper Flagg was mentioned in the same breath as the Milwaukee Bucks and Utah Jazz, for what it's worth.

The talent speaks for itself,” Duke coach Jon Scheyer said. “But I love coaching the person. He’s all about the right stuff.”
