Kurt Helin, Raphielle Johnson and Noah Rubin wrote up their picks for the 2025 NBA Draft after the Mavericks won the draft lottery on Monday night.

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.

The Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards, Charlotte Hornets and the other teams involved in the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery will hope to hear their name called when the official order of the top of this summer's draft is revealed at 7 p.m. ET on Monday.
