The 2024-25 Dallas Mavericks season was a memorable one for the wrong reasons. From being rattled by injuries all season, to the Luka Doncic trade, and then closing out the season with being eliminated by the Memphis Grizzlies in the Play-In Tournament.
As the season concluded, Mavs fans wondered if the basketball gods would smile on the franchise. Then, it happened in May. Despite a 1.8 percent chance, the Mavericks won the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery to earn the rights to draft Duke stud Cooper Flagg.
Drafting Flagg has brought excitement back into the city of Dallas, and fans will be excited to watch the 18-year-old make his NBA debut.
