DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks, as expected, took forward Cooper Flagg with the first pick of the 2025 NBA draft Wednesday night.
Dallas won the draft lottery despite only 1.8% odds, putting the Mavs in position to select Flagg, who was widely considered the top prospect in this draft class as soon as he reclassified to graduate high school and enter college a year earlier.
