New No. 1 pick Flag chose Jokic instead of Alexander as NBA best player

According to US sports media F/W contributor Chaitania Dadwar, the upcoming first pick, Flag, clearly expressed his views on the NBA's best player and chose Jokic instead of Alexander.

Frager's NBA journey is just around the corner, probably with the Dallas Mavericks, who finished the first pick in the draft draw. After the draft draw, the media spoke with the upcoming rookies and asked them several questions about the league. One of the questions before them is who they think is the best player in the NBA.

Although each player has his own personal opinion, the best players in the NBA should objectively be the Most Valuable Player (MVP). Among the many options, some players even claimed that James Harden and LeBron James remained the best players in the league. However, most of them made a decision between MVP frontrunners Jokic and Alexander. When Flag was asked this question, he named the Serbian big man Jokic. He said: "The best player in the NBA right now? Jokic. I mean he did a lot and he influenced the victory in many different ways."

Jokic ranked 2nd in the NBA's MVP battle. At the end of the season, he averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10.2 assists in 70 games. One of the few players in NBA history to average triple-double per game in a single season, tied with teammate Westbrook and NBA legend Oscar Robertson. The number one spot on the MVP list belongs to Alexander, who averaged 32.7 points, 6.4 assists and 5.0 rebounds in 76 games this season. He led the Thunder as the first seed in the West, thus securing the top spot in the MVP.

Frager's opinion on possible playing in Dallas

Considering that Flag is a well-known hot pick and will be selected as the No. 1 pick, the media believes that Dallas will pick him in the upcoming draft. Therefore, he was asked many times. Initially, there were reports of his first reaction to the draft draw. A report from ESPN said, “While Flag initially seemed shocked by the result of Monday’s draft draw, sources told ESPN that his camp realized how lucky he was to get to Dallas. Flag was said to be excited about the idea of ​​joining a playoff roster with a strong veteran and a team that had a vacant small forward position.

Later, when the ESPN group asked Flag what he was most looking forward to in Dallas, considering they were looking for a two-way player. “This whole experience was great for me.” So, looking forward to this, I just look forward to it. Like you said, as a two-way player, this is something I have done since I was a kid. So, I just will do my best to keep working hard. He further added: “I didn’t try to think about it too much. I feel like it's beyond my control, so I'm just going through the process like everyone else and just trying to enjoy every moment because we only have one chance. ”

Although Flag seems unwilling to talk directly about Dallas draft picks, it is obvious that he is looking forward to playing side by side with Davis and Irving. You should know that next season's healthy Mavericks starting lineup Irving, Davis, Flag, Leifley, Thompson, three starting players with champions and the new No. 1 pick will be a terrible existence.
