The 2025 draft is fast approaching, and attention is already focused on the first pick. Cooper Flagg is widely expected to be selected by the Dallas Mavericks, and recent statements reinforce this near certainty.
Matt MacKenzie, Cooper Flagg’s personal coach, confirmed that his protégé is preparing to meet with the Mavericks’ management and likely their coaching staff. This meeting is presented as an important step for the young talent to discover the organization, its facilities, and take his first steps toward the NBA.
Because yes, everyone now expects Dallas to pick him first overall. According to MacKenzie, this visit will be exclusive:
“This is the only team Cooper will visit. He’s very excited for it.”
This testimony confirms how invested Dallas is in their future player, ready to offer him an ideal environment for development.

This meeting will also allow Flagg to better understand the Texas franchise’s vision, which counts on him to become a key long-term piece. For the Mavericks, this first pick is strategic, symbolizing a new era after Luka Doncic’s departure. Dallas is now aiming for the title, and Flagg could contribute quickly.
Choosing the Blue Devil should surprise absolutely no one. Flagg is considered the best prospect in this class ahead of Dylan Harper, and despite trade rumors, the Mavs don’t want to keep fans guessing. Their communication around this pick shows the organization wants to secure their new gem as soon as possible.
MacKenzie : “Yeah, I think that meeting is really just an opportunity for Cooper to meet the front office and potentially the coaching staff and just get two feet on the ground in Dallas. He’ll be able to tour their facilities and learn about the organization as a whole. So it’s something he’s definitely looking forward to.”
With this confirmation from his circle, the Mavericks send a clear message: Cooper Flagg is their number one priority, and integrating the young prodigy in Dallas will start soon in the coming weeks. Some fans are excited and hope this arrival will change everything.
