The 2025 NBA draft lottery results shocked many as the Dallas Mavericks clinched the No. 1 overall pick, unexpectedly rising from a mere 1.8% chance of winning. This position grants them the privilege to draft Duke's Cooper Flagg, widely recognized as the top player for this year's draft class. Additionally, the San Antonio Spurs and Philadelphia 76ers made surprising advancements, moving into the top four from lower spots. The draft combine in Chicago will feature Flagg and over 120 other players participating in various evaluations leading up to the June draft.
In a shocking twist of fate, the Mavs converted on their 1.8% chance of winning the lottery, giving them the opportunity to select the consensus top player.
The Spurs had just a 6.3% chance at moving up to No. 2 from No. 8 and the 76ers a 10.6% chance at moving to No. 3 from No. 5.
