Melo, about Cooper Flagg: "We haven't seen a white player this good in a long time"

Dallas Mavericks have in their hands the opportunity to secure the next great standout talent in the NBA. By securing the 1st pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Texas franchise will be able to select Cooper Flagg. All this comes after a nightmare few months that began with the trade of Luka Doncic.

Speaking of Doncic, for Carmelo Anthony, former player and NBA legend, Flagg is going to be a much better player than the Slovenian. At least, that's the impression from his latest statements, as reported by HoopsHype:

"Players like Ace Bailey (potential no. 2 in the Draft) we've seen before. That doesn't take away anything, but visually we've seen it. However, we haven't seen a white player as good as Cooper Flagg in a very long time. That's when you know he's really good," Melo said.

With the potential selection of Cooper Flagg, the Mavs can dream of the championship ring in the present. Accompanied by names like Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving (once he returns from injury), Klay Thompson, Dereck Lively II, Naji Marshall..., Dallas will have a roster that is very, very dangerous.
