The NBA held a draft lottery draw on the 13th Beijing time, and the champion lottery was finally won by the Mavericks with a probability of only 1.8%, which also means that Duke University superstar Flag, who is regarded as the favorite for the first prize, is almost certain to go to Dallas, and he admitted in an interview on the 16th that this result was unexpected.

The 18-year-old was selected for the U.S. Olympic men's basketball team last year and played in 37 games in his freshman season, averaging 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game.
The Mavericks had a very low chance of winning the lottery, which also made Flagg admit in an interview that he, like everyone else, was caught off guard by this result, but spoke highly of the Mavericks, "It's a crazy draft lotto, and it's really cool to be able to experience it for yourself." ”

Flagg continued: "It's grateful to have this opportunity, and more specifically any opportunity to hear my name on draft night, and I'm excited to have that full experience, which not everybody goes through, so I think I'm very lucky. ”
Flagg also praised the Mavericks for having a lot of good players, such as Dereck Lively II, a 21-year-old center who also attended Duke University, "It's really cool to be able to learn from D-Live, so I think it's going to be a great opportunity." ”
