It was widely expected that the Dallas Mavericks would draft Duke phenom Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft on June 25. But the Mavericks accidentally leaked their plans by revealing their pick on their Website before taking it down.

The Dallas Mavericks jumped up in the Draft Lottery for the first time in franchise history, and they jumped all the way up from 11th to 1st. If there was ever any year to get lucky like that, it's this year, with Duke star Cooper Flagg available as the consensus top prospect in the draft.

Cooper Flagg is expected to go to Dallas after they won the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery with just a 1.8% chance at landing the top spot.
