The Dallas Mavericks have secured the first overall pick after winning the NBA Draft Lottery, marking their first time achieving this milestone. They are poised to take Cooper Flagg from Duke with this choice.

Despite only having a 1.8% chance of winning, the Mavs’ long-standing efforts have finally paid off, especially following their recent trade of star player Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Clippers. Flagg has emerged as a standout player, especially after a productive freshman year.

The San Antonio Spurs, with the second pick, are leaning towards selecting Dylan Harper from Rutgers. Harper is highly regarded as one of the top prospects in this draft class.
