Flagg described the moment when he heard his name called by the NBA commissioner as “a dream come true”.
Flagg is expected to make his debut at the NBA Summer League on July 10 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd recently revealed that he wanted to see Flagg in action as a leader.
“I want to put him to the leader. I want to make him uncomfortable and see how he reacts. I can perform the show. Being able to play (shooting guard). Play (little attacker). He is comfortable playing this. We want to push. I think he will answer in a positive way.”
