2025 NBA Mock Draft: Cooper Flagg goes No. 1 to Mavericks, Duke teammate Kon Knueppel moves into top five
Cooper Flagg is more than likely going to be a member of the Dallas Mavericks next month. That's a statement, around this time last year, I would've thought was impossible and just minutes before the NBA Draft Lottery, it still seemed improbable.
Nonetheless, Flagg is on his way to potentially save basketball in Dallas. The Mavs' shocking jump to the No. 1 overall pick after a chaotic NBA Draft Lottery from Chicago comes less than four months removed from the franchise shipping Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Mavs general manager Nico Harrison will have an easy decision to make next month by taking one of the best draft prospects in the modern era. Flagg has been the consensus No. 1 overall pick since the start of the 2025 draft cycle last summer.
What is Dallas getting with Flagg? A two-way forward capable of doing a little bit of everything on both ends of the floor. Flagg was the best player in college basketball this past season and was also one of the youngest players in the sport.
Let's jump into our latest mock draft, starting with Dallas at No. 1.
