Cooper Flagg stands on the verge of stepping into the NBA spotlight, potentially teaming up with Dereck Lively II on the Dallas Mavericks after being drafted. The Mavericks, buoyed by their recent lottery victory, are looking to build a formidable frontcourt with Flagg's versatility and Lively's size and skill.

Jon Scheyer, head coach at Duke, highlighted the synergy between Flagg and Lively, imagining their dynamic together in Dallas. Given the Mavs' star-studded roster, including Kyrie Irving, Flagg's confidence will be crucial for him to thrive in a competitive environment.
