With the Dallas Mavericks receiving the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft, Duke star Cooper Flagg is now expected to land in Dallas this summer. Flagg, the reigning national college player of the year, is the consensus top prospect in the draft class. The Mavericks now have the obvious opportunity to take him, despite only having a 1.8% chance at landing the No. 1 pick in the lottery.
After the Mavericks won the top pick, Flagg was asked on ESPN about potentially joining Dallas and getting the chance to play alongside Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving. He didn't say anything about the Mavericks specifically, instead noting he's trying to enjoy the draft process.
