Celtics interview Flag! The latter has publicly admitted to being a Celtics fan and his favorite star is Tatum

On May 18, there are about 40 days left before the 2025 NBA Draft. Currently, all the hot rookies are conducting joint trials, and the Celtics have interviewed this year's No. 1 pick favorite Flag. The latter once publicly stated that he was a Celtics fan and his favorite star was Tatum.

According to Yahoo Sports reporter Kevin O’Connor on his show, the Celtics interviewed two popular shows in the joint trial: No. 1 favorite Flag and point guard Trae Johnson with the top five picks prospects. It should be noted that in this year's draft, the Celtics only have the No. 28 and No. 32 picks. Kevin O 'Connor said that while interviewing players does not necessarily mean that the team will trade in the draft, the decision (the interview) is "fun".

In response, the famous reporter Trevor Lane tweeted to interpret the interview, and wrote: "This is a very normal situation. Joint trial training may be the last opportunity for a team to communicate with an unsigned player. You will never know what kind of opportunities (cooperation) will be there in the future, so the team will routinely communicate with rookies they cannot choose at all."

However, it should be noted that Flag has publicly stated more than once that he is a Celtic fan and his favorite star is Tatum. He once said, "Who doesn't want to play for his hometown team (Celtics)?" Flag also expressed his love for Tatum in many interviews and bluntly expressed his hope to partner with Tatum. He said, "I admire his style of play very much, and have been trying and imitating his skills and influence in the game."

However, at this year's draft, it is difficult for the Celtics to have a chance to get Flag, and it is also very difficult to get the No. 1 pick. At the same time, if Flag was successfully selected by the Mavericks, he would play for the Celtics' opponent in last year's finals, when the Celtics defeated the Mavericks 4-1 and won the 18th NBA championship in team history.
