Flagg will undoubtedly be the first name called Wednesday night when commissioner Adam Silver reveals the Mavericks' pick, but according to Spotrac, the Maine native stands to make a killing at the next level.

The professional sports money tracking website revealed that Flagg could potentially earn just shy of $1 billion over his first three contracts if he receives two supermax extensions from Dallas.

That's excluding his potential for huge endorsement deals, including his historic New Balance sneaker contract, which shocked many in the basketball world when he didn't opt for a Nike, adidas or Under Armor deal.
