As basketball fans are well aware, Cooper Flagg is a generational NBA Draft prospect. But he's also a golfer. A very (very) tall golfer.
The 18-year-old will be the No. 1 pick of the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night and that's a good spot for him to go because he'll get to play with Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis. Oh, and he'll be able to play golf year-round.
Flagg showed his love of golf during his short stint at Duke. There was this outing with teammates last November.
And then there was a more private moment that went viral. After the Blue Devils crushing Final Four loss to Houston, Flagg returned to Durham. And promptly hit the driving range solo.
Hey, nothing soothes the soul like a hitting a large bucket. And according to the Boston Globe, when Flagg recently returned home to Maine he jokingly signed up for his high school's golf team for next year. So, yeah, the guy is hooked on golf.
And here's a better look at the 6-foot-9 swingman's golf swing:
Not too shabby, huh? Dude is an athlete. Anyway, good luck in Dallas, Cooper. Hopefully, some of your new Mavericks teammates are also golfers.
