The Dallas Mavericks won this year's NBA draft lottery, earning the right to land projected No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg.

While everyone expects the Dallas Mavericks to take Cooper Flagg in the 2025 NBA Draft, it's not a guarantee according to one ESPN NBA analyst.

Finally free of months of suspense, the 76ers can start to put things in motion. They can also celebrate this thing over which they had no control, but that wound up meaning so much to them. They can grin and laugh and embrace now that the results of Monday’s NBA draft lottery are finalized.

The 2025 NBA predraft process officially kicks off Saturday, with an expected 120 players, including Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, Derik Queen, Walter Clayton Jr ., and others, congregating in Chicago for the NBA draft combine, G League Elite Camp, and agency pro days.
