Mavericks announce Cooper Flagg's jersey number after No. 1 NBA Draft pick image

Cooper Flagg has an NBA team, the Dallas Mavericks.

And now he has a uniform number.

The Mavs announced soon after picking Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick in Wednesday's NBA Draft that Flagg will wear the No. 32 in the NBA.

Flagg was No. 2 at Duke.

The Mavs, ironically once had Christian Laettner wear No. 32 for them.

Other notable 32s for Dallas are Detlef Schrempf, Jamal Mashburn, Brandon Bass, O.J. Mayo and Trey Burke.

Flagg should end up the best of the No. 32 bunch with the Mavs.

His jersey should quickly become one of the best-selling in the NBA, and it'll have a 32 on the back.
