Cooper Flagg, an 18-year-old college star, was selected with the first pick of the Dallas Mavericks after winning the NBA draft.

LeBron James was eight days younger when the Cleveland Cavaliers selected him in 2003, making him the second-youngest player to be chosen first in draft history at 18 years, 186 days.

Dallas had a 1.8% chance of winning the lottery given that it finished 10th overall this year.

“I feel fantastic right now. It’s a true dream,” Flagg declared.

He was named Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Year and received the Wooden Award, which is presented to the most outstanding college player each season.

After the Mavs selected Mark Aguirre in 1981, he is the second-round pick in Dallas franchise history.

With the second pick, the San Antonio Spurs selected guard Dylan Harper.

Ron Harper, the son of five-time NBA champion Ron Harper and his older brother Ron Harper Jr., both of whom play for the Detroit Pistons.

Dylan Harper said, “I’m feeling everything, all the emotions in one bucket.”

“They have a fantastic young core there,” he said. I’m just about to step up and make an impact with those guys.

The Philadelphia 76ers selected guard VJ Edgecombe for third overall.

After averaging 15 points and 5 rebounds per game at Baylor University, he was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year. He was born in the Bahamas.

Date: Saturday, June 28th, 2018 Kick-off: 11:00 BST

The Irish Lions’ first game against the Western Force on Saturday will be played on Australian soil under the leadership of Ireland’s Dan Sheehan.

Elliot Daly is in at full-back while head coach Andy Farrell is still without scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park and Hugo Keenan, both of whom are recovering from injury, and Tomos Williams is rewarded for a strong comeback against the Pumas in Dublin with a start in the nines.

Finn Russell will start at flyhalf after making three appearances on South Africa’s tour in 2021.
