Not all NBA Draft lotteries are created equal.
Monday's was top-shelf. And the Dallas Mavericks are the big winners.
The Mavericks the No. 1 pick in the lottery and the right to draft Duke phenom Cooper Flagg, the presumed top selection in June's NBA Draft. The San Antonio Spurs will pick No. 2, the Philadelphia 76ers will select third and the Charlotte Hornets will pick fourth.
The Jazz, Wizards and Hornets finished with the three worst records in the NBA and each entered Monday's draft lottery tied with the best odds of securing the No. 1 pick at 14%.
