Give the Washington Wizards credit. They are lapping the field so far in the Cooper Flagg Derby.
The Mavericks will start a two-game trip in the nation’s capital to face the 2-17 Wizards, who have lost 15 consecutive games and clearly are headed to the draft lottery in the spring.
Flagg is the presumptive No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft. He’s already shown his talents at Duke early in his freshman season, despite the fact he doesn’t turn 18 until Dec. 21.
To put it bluntly, NBA teams are salivating about the 6-9 swingman’s potential.
