June 23, there are still 3 days left before the 2025 NBA Draft. According to reports, Flag from Duke University has officially arrived in New York. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be selected by the Mavericks in the first round. Mavericks coach Kidd regards him as another Grant Hill.

As the favorite for the No. 1 pick this year, Flag has arrived in New York to prepare for the draft. According to the league's arrangements, this year's draft will be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on the 26th of this month. The first day is the first round and the second round is the second day. In various mock drafts, Flag was selected by the Mavericks at the first round.

In an interview, Flag said: "I'm excited about it, it should be a fun week, I'm lucky to be here, it should be a fun one. I think it's cool, my family and friends will come here, they drive from Maine, so we'll celebrate this moment, meet everyone, and hope my name will be called by then. It's going to be a very cool thing, a special experience." According to today's report, Flag has visited Dallas, visited the Mavericks' home court, conducted a slight training, had dinner with Harrison and Kidd, and met with some players to learn about the team's culture. According to the famous reporter McMahon, Mavericks coach Kidd saw another Duke player in Flag, which is Grant Hill, who once shared the Best Rookie Award with Kidd. Especially during Irving's absence at the beginning of the season, Flag will have a lot of opportunities to play the ball-handling forward. He will have a lot of ball-holding time, and Kidd believes he has the ability to organize his offense.
