Cooper Flagg just finished his exciting but ultimately disappointing run through the NCAA tournament, and now his sights are set on joining the NBA.
Flagg will undoubtedly be the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft, but which team will be lucky enough to land him?
According to Jonathan Givony, per Legion Hoops, Flagg is currently projected to be chosen by the Utah Jazz this summer.
The Jazz have been quietly putting together a nice roster over the last few years, so is Flagg the piece that will bring it all together?

It’s very hard to imagine Flagg not declaring himself for the draft soon, which is a move that everyone sees coming.
He is one of the most talked-about draft prospects in years and is already seen as an NBA superstar-in-the-making.
Like Victor Wembanyama a few years ago, expectations are high for Flagg, but he looks like he does well under the bright spotlight of fame and glory.
Even though his Duke team fell short this year, Flagg was still a stellar star throughout March Madness.
He posted 27 points, seven rebounds, four assists, three blocks, and two steals during the team’s final game of the tournament, which came down to the wire.
The Jazz would love to see what Flagg can do alongside Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler.
Acquiring Flagg would allow them to trade away some other assets and some of the many draft picks they have been sitting on.
That means that this could end up being a very busy offseason for the Jazz if they get Flagg.
Fans have been waiting years to get excited about the Jazz again, so they are ready to have Flagg declare for the draft and are hoping their team gets a chance to sign him.
