Once the project stemming from the catastrophic transfer of Doncic has been dissolved and still having pieces to move, Dallas Mavericks is clear that it must think of a championship project for the medium and long term, with Cooper Flagg as a great reference. They are tanking effectively, and although they will not be one of the worst teams of the season, they have real options to choose a top-7 pick.
A really talented and deep Draft is looming, with numerous players who possess the necessary potential to become stars. Hence, realizing that they could pair Cooper Flagg with such an important player from the top-7, makes the fans of the Texan franchise rub their hands. There is over a 75% chance that they will have such a high pick, with seven or more players whose impact on the competition would be very significant both now and in the future.
Delving a little deeper, they currently have a 37.2% chance of picking in the top-4 of the NBA Draft 2026. It would be incredible if they were to enjoy as much luck as last year again, but nothing can be ruled out in this world. Boozer, Dybantsa, Wilson, Wagler, Acuff Jr, Peterson, and Flemings are the top candidates to be the first selected in a ceremony where the Dallas Mavericks could find an ideal lieutenant for Cooper Flagg and his future project.
