In a remarkable turn of events, the Dallas Mavericks have chosen to keep the highly sought-after No. 1 overall pick for the upcoming NBA Draft. According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, the team has its eyes set on the promising talent of Cooper Flagg, a move that has generated excitement among fans and analysts. This unexpected development is particularly thrilling given that the Mavericks entered the draft lottery with only a 1.8% chance of securing the top selection.
MacMahon highlights that Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont considers this opportunity a “gift” for the franchise. Although general manager Nico Harrison is in charge of basketball operations, Dumont will be responsible for making the final call on this crucial choice, which could herald a new era for the team.
