The Mavericks will take Cooper Flagg with the first pick in tonight’s NBA Draft, after winning May’s lottery. But why doesn’t Flagg have any say in where he wants to play? The only way to change that would be to get rid of the draft. In @TheAthletic:

As he did that, Blackman noticed Cooper Flagg, the crown jewel of this year’s class, sitting nearby. “A time of renewal is what it is. For our organization, for our fans,” Blackman said. “Really having the opportunity to live in a bastion of positivity for our future.” On Wednesday, the Mavericks officially will select Flagg with the No. 1 pick. Blackman, who was chosen eight spots behind fellow Mavericks great Mark Aguirre in the 1981 NBA Draft — the last time Dallas had the first selection — is well aware of how gifted Flagg, an 18-year-old forward from Newport, Maine, is on the court. -via New York Times / June 25, 2025
