Duke University basketball star Cooper Flagg is ready for his NBA moment.
Flagg, 18, was the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft Wednesday night and will spend his rookie season with the Dallas Mavericks.
“It feels amazing. So many emotions,” Flagg told ABC News’ Rhiannon Ally after his selection was announced. “It’s just so surreal to be here and going through this.”
The 6-foot-9-inch forward is the second-youngest No. 1 draft pick in NBA history.
Flagg was a front-runner for the top draft pick ever since his 2023 decision to graduate high school a year early and start college as a 17-year-old, according to ESPN.
