Flagg Day in Dallas, the Spurs’ Options at No. 2, and More Draft Lottery Reactions

Flagg Day in Dallas, the Spurs’ Options at No. 2, and More Draft Lottery Reactions

Author: The Ringer May 13, 2025 Duration: 1:10:53
J. Kyle Mann is joined by The Ringer’s Danny Chau to process the 2025 NBA draft lottery. The guys discuss the bizarre past three months for the Mavericks, which somehow culminated in them landing the no. 1 pick (and likely Cooper Flagg), despite only having a 1.8 percent chance to do so. They talk through why they’re betting on Flagg’s NBA success and his ability to step into the shadow of Luka Doncic in Dallas. They round out the show by trying to figure out what the Spurs should do with the second overall pick, talking through the Sixers’ options at no. 3, commiserating with the Jazz's and Wizards’ awful lottery luck, and much more. Check out The Ringer's post-lottery mock draft and Danny's latest piece on Cooper Flagg! Host: J.
