Mavericks Draft Flagg, Add Stars for Post-Doncic Era
The Dallas Mavericks selected Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, overcoming long odds with just a 1.8% lottery chance. Flagg, 18 and regarded as a generational talent, joins a retooled roster following Luka Doncic's departure and a disappointing, injury-ridden season. To bolster the team, Dallas signed veteran point guard D'Angelo Russell, particularly as Kyrie Irving recovers from a torn ACL, and acquired additional star power in Anthony Davis and Klay Thompson. Coach Jason Kidd plans to deploy a flexible, positionless style, with Flagg expected to play multiple roles. Team leaders and players are optimistic that Flagg, supported by a veteran core, can help the Mavericks return to playoff contention and pursue a championship. Flagg emphasized his commitment to improvement and winning during his Dallas introduction.
