The Dallas Mavericks are poised to select Cooper Flagg, a generational talent from Duke, to bolster their playoff ambitions, especially with Kyrie Irving out early next season.

Other notable prospects include Dylan Harper heading to the San Antonio Spurs, where he could complement Victor Wembanyama, and V.J. Edgecombe, expected to be picked by the Philadelphia 76ers. The Charlotte Hornets look to enhance their roster with Kon Knueppel from Duke, while the Utah Jazz may select Jeremiah Fears as they assess their young point guard situation.
