The Dallas Mavericks have officially won this year’s NBA Draft Lottery and secured the No. 1 pick, likely to be Duke’s Cooper Flagg.
The Mavericks had just a 1.8% chance to take home the top pick in the lottery but now have the right to draft Flagg, a 6-foot-9 two-way forward with exceptional scoring abilities. He averaged 19.2 points and 7.5 rebounds this season as he led Duke to the Final Four of the NCAA National Tournament.
