Draft Expert: Flag is excited to join a team with strong veteran &amp and playoff strength

May 17th News Today, ESPN draft expert Jonathan Givony wrote an article about his feelings about the No. 1 pick Flag.

"Frager showed his potential as a core player and No. 1 pick in his NBA team in his 75-minute performance on Tuesday. I stood on the sidelines and watched Flag and several other rookies who were expected to enter the lottery zone from close range, shocked by his vitality, charm and spirit. No matter which training session, Flag used his voice to dominate the whole process, cheering his teammates, enhancing the atmosphere on the scene, and inspiring everyone to be the best self, especially himself.

Physical test data show that Flag is 6-foot-7 and 3/4 inches (about 2.03 meters), weighing 221 pounds (about 99.8 kg), one inch taller than the Nike Basketball Summit a year ago and 12 pounds heavier. His size is from 1987 Scotty Pippen, a legendary Chicago Bulls star at the University of Arkansas, was similar.

In training, Flag showed a good shot feel, and at some point it felt hot, showing significant improvements over the past year. Although Flag was initially surprised by the draw on Monday, his team realized it was a blessing to join Dallas, according to ESPN. Flag is said to be very excited to join a team with a strong veteran lineup and playoff strength, especially the small forward position is in need of strengthening. The Mavericks are in desperate need of players who create scoring opportunities, and Flag will take on important offensive responsibilities as a rookie (as he did at Duke), which will be of great benefit to his long-term development.” Givony wrote.
