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.

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.

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.
