Brooklyn, NY.- There’s been all eyes on the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery for over a year now.

Since the end of March Madness- one thing’s been on the whole world’s mind: who would be the winner of the Cooper Flagg Sweepstakes? Duke F Cooper Flagg has become the talk of the basketball world. The former high school phenom was just as good as advertised as a Blue Devil, averaging 19.2 PPG and 7.5 REBPG.

Flagg was absolutely electric for the Blue Devils, throwing down crowd popping dunks and knocking down deep three pointers. Cooper Flagg helped lead Duke to the highest levels of the sport by taking them to the 2025 Final 4, while also being named as the 2025 Naismith Player of the Year.

To sweeten the pot for the winner of tonight’s game of Capture the Flagg, earlier today, Cooper just got even stronger. At the 2025 NBA Combine weigh ins, Cooper Flagg measured in at a staggering 6 foot 7 3/4″ barefoot, with a 7 foot wingspan, while weighing in at 221lbs. These measurements indicate that Flagg has grown almost an inch, while adding 12 pounds since his freshman season.

The moment we’ve all been waiting for finally arrived, and the Dallas Mavericks have secured the #1 overall pick in the Draft. With the probable addition of Flagg, the Mavs’ can boast one of the top offensive front courts in the league, pairing him with Anthony Davis.

In a season of sorrow for all in Dallas, following the stunning mid season trade of star Luka Doncic, this reignites a spark of hope into the fanbase.
