The gods are smiling on Dallas at the moment. After landing the top pick in the WNBA draft, the Dallas Mavericks now won the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery. Meaning? The City will have two top players from the men’s and women’s basketball teams of the class of 2025.
Cooper Flagg, widely projected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, could be headed to Dallas. And ahead of the potential selection, Mavericks veteran Klay Thompson had a message for the incoming rookie — cryptic, yet deeply intentional.
