Kurt Helin, Raphielle Johnson and Noah Rubin wrote up their picks for the 2025 NBA Draft after the Mavericks won the draft lottery on Monday night.

In his lone season at Duke, Flagg led the team to a Final Four appearance while also being the team leader in points (19.2), rebounds (7.5), assists (4.2), steals (1.4) and blocks (1.4). Flagg was also named the ACC Player of the Year and the 2025 Naismith Men's College Player of the Year.

The Dallas Mavericks had less than a 2% chance of winning Monday's NBA Draft Lottery and yet that is exactly what happened.  That wasn't the only surprise at the top of the draft though as San Antonio now has an interesting choice to make at No.
