Cooper Flagg Headlines a Scary New Big Three in Dallas originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Cooper Flagg era has officially begun in Dallas as the Mavericks drafted him with the No. 1 overall pick in Wednesday night’s NBA draft at the Barclays Center.

LeBron James thinks that likely No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg "is going to be amazing" and is set up to succeed on the Mavericks.

The 18-year-old racked up just about every honor possible in his lone season at Duke as the Naismith Award winner, Wooden Award winner, the AP Player of the Year and a consensus All American. He should make him fit particularly well in Dallas, where the goal is to compete for a championship immediately.
