The Dallas Mavericks won the NBA draft lottery, granting them the first overall pick, which they are likely to use on Cooper Flagg. This decision comes on the heels of a disappointing season marked by the trade of Luka Doncic. Mavericks CEO Rick Welts expressed excitement over the chance to rejuvenate the fan base, whoâve been through a challenging period. Flagg, the standout player from Duke, led his team to the Final Four. Despite only having a 1.8% chance to win the lottery, the Mavericks secured a bright future.
Dallas bucked huge odds to get it done, with only a 1.8% chance? Are you kidding me? Welts said to win the lottery coming into Monday.
I am so happy for Mavericks fans, Dallas CEO Rick Welts said, clutching the envelope with the No. 1 emblazoned on it.
I didn't try to think about it too much, Flagg said on the broadcast of the lottery about what it'll likely mean for his immediate future.
It's going to really be something special. I can't wait to get back to Dallas.
