NEW YORK – Versatile US college teen star Cooper Flagg is expected to be selected first overall by the Dallas Mavericks in Wednesday’s NBA Draft.

The Mavericks nabbed the first pick after winning last month’s NBA Draft Lottery and are expected to take Flagg, an 18-year-old American who played last season for Duke University before opting into the draft.
