The 2025 NBA Draft is just around the corner, and the excitement is building up among the crowd, especially for the Dallas Mavericks. After pulling a surprising win in the draft lottery, the Mavericks now hold the No.1 overall pick.
At the center of the conversation is Cooper Flagg, the standout forward from Duke University. With his incredible skills at a young age, his name is definitely among the top prospects for the Mavericks.
Mavericks Set to Take Cooper Flagg at No. 1
The Mavericks’ path to the top pick is already one of the biggest surprises of this draft cycle. The Mavericks only had a 1.8% chance of winning the draft lottery (per NBA), but Dallas defied the odds to secure the top pick.
Adding to the intrigue, Flagg recently took a pre-draft visit to Dallas. According to reports, he spent time with executives as well as other players, had a light workout and dined with Nico Harrison as well.
Even the organization of the Mavericks are dropping obvious hints on their social handles. Shortly after the Draft Lottery, the Mavericks’ official account posted a picture of Flagg in a Mavericks jersey, which sparked speculation.
Flagg is playing for Duke University and had a tremendous freshman season. He already has two major national awards, Naismith and Wooden, this year which really strengthens his case as the solid No. 1 prospect in the 2025 NBA Draft class.
With days left until the draft, all signs point to Cooper Flagg becoming the newest member of the Mavericks. If everything goes as expected on June 25, the franchise could be taking its first step toward a new era.
