Cooper Flagg's NBA Salary Revealed After Making Draft History originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On Wednesday, college basketball superstar Cooper Flagg was officially selected with the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft by the Dallas Mavericks.

When the Brooklyn Nets acquired the 22nd overall pick earlier this week as the third team in the Celtics-Hawks trade that sent Kristaps Porzingis to Atlanta, they suddenly found themselves with five of the 30 first-round picks going into Wednesday night.

King was the first first-round pick in Nebraska basketball history when he was taken 14th overall in the 1991 NBA draft. In 124 career games as a Cornhusker, he averaged 11.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. He would only play four seasons in the NBA, as his professional career was cut short by injuries.
