There are 13 teams hoping to win Monday's NBA Draft Lottery and the chance at taking Flagg with the top selection

Identifying the best or worst Cooper Flagg landing spot in the 2025 NBA Draft lottery is mostly a matter of taste. The Duke freshmen phenom would be a great fit anywhere as a player capable of blending in on more competitive teams or taking on a starring role right away on a basement-dweller.

The draft lottery determines the order of the first 14 picks. It takes place in a private room with NBA officials, representatives of participating teams, select media and the accounting firm Ernst & Young, which oversees the drawings, in attendance.
