Unlike most draft prospects, Flagg did not schedule any visits or workouts with teams other than the Mavericks.
Former Duke star Cooper Flagg is projected to be the No. 1 pick by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2025 NBA draft, which will be held June 25-26 at the Barclays Center in New York (both nights at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN).
Cooper Flagg will presumably be drafted by the Dallas Mavericks with the top pick in next week’s NBA Draft. As he prepares for his next chapter ahead of him in Dallas, his top sponsor is getting in on the hype surrounding the 18-year-old prodigy.

Ace Bailey was viewed as a potential top-3 pick, but it sounds like he could slide a few picks in the 2025 NBA Draft.
In the lead-up to the draft, Flagg’s longtime trainer Matt MacKenzie RG.org reporter Mark Medina about how he’s preparing Flagg for the NBA, along with a story about his athlete’s unique competitive nature.
In anticipation of the draft, one of Flagg's sponsors is going all out with a new merchandise drop.
