After months of waiting, the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes will conclude on Monday during the NBA Draft Lottery. The Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets all have an equal chance (14%) of winning the lottery and changing the direction of their respective franchise for years to come.
The team that wins next week’s lottery will almost certainly select Flagg. The Duke star was the CBS Sports Player of the Year as a freshman and is the kind of two-way star that can impact the game in multiple ways at the next level.
While Flagg is the biggest name in this class, the rest of the lottery is full of blue-chip talent. The heavy theme throughout the lottery is the number of first-year players included. South Carolina star forward Collin Murray-Boyles and Saint Joseph’s Rasheer Fleming are the only non-freshmen mocked in the lottery portion of this mock draft.
With the draft order just days away from being decided, let’s jump into our latest mock draft, which starts with the Utah Jazz with the No. 1 overall pick.
