The NBA Draft Lottery is done, which means we have an official draft order and a winner in the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes. And it was a stunner. The Dallas Mavericks won the lottery Monday, falling backward from the disastrous Luka Dončić deal into the right to select Flagg at No.

Long-suffering fans of the Jazz, Hornets, Pelicans and Wizards had to watch the coveted Flagg pick go to a team that literally just played in the 2024 NBA Finals. That's just tough, and the "rigged" conspiracy theories are understandable. When will these teams catch a break? Those Flagg dreams went up in smoke so fast.
