The lottery draw ceremony for the 2025 NBA Draft was held earlier today, and the final result was unexpected and reasonable, that is, the Dallas Mavericks won the No. 1 pick.

You should know that this result is very surprising. The Mavericks also participated in this year's Western Conference play-offs and almost made the playoffs. According to the regular season win rate and ranking, the Mavericks' probability of winning the No. 1 pick is only 1.8%, ranking 11th in the league.
The Utah Jazz are ranked first, and their probability of winning the No. 1 pick is 14%. But in the end, the Jazz only drew the fifth pick in the first round, which was the worst result that the team at the bottom in the league could draw. It is worth mentioning that the NBA's bottom team has drawn the fifth pick in the first round for three consecutive years, as if the NBA is giving each team a signal: don't play badly, and you won't get the No. 1 pick even if you play badly.
This is the first No. 1 pick in the Mavericks' history. This result also makes people believe in the NBA's conspiracy theory, that is, the Mavericks will receive compensation for the No. 1 pick when they send Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. In fact, I have seen a story like

before. At that time, the New Orleans Pelicans sent "Brother Davis" Anthony Davis to the Lakers, and finally received compensation for the No. 1 pick and selected Zion Williamson. Now, the story has been repeated again, the Mavericks have also received compensation from the No. 1 pick, and Brother Davis has witnessed it with his own eyes.

The popular candidate for the NBA No. 1 pick this year is Flag, and the Mavericks are likely to use the No. 1 pick to choose this hope star. Irving, Flagg, Davis, Thompson and Gafford, such a starting lineup is indeed very beautiful, and perhaps the Mavericks' reconstruction has been completed in one step.
