Flagg, the presumptive No. 1 pick in next month's NBA Draft, shared his thoughts Wednesday with reporters at the NBA Draft Combine for the first time since the stunning sequence of events, and he recalled the still-fresh night as surreal after growing up watching the event.

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith doesn't disagree, but he also thinks Flagg's race matters in the decision-making for the Dallas Mavericks with the No. 1 overall pick. Rumors have floated about Dallas trading the first pick. Smith thinks they should keep it because Flagg is white.
