The Dallas Mavericks had less than a 2% chance of winning Monday's NBA Draft Lottery and yet that is exactly what happened.  That wasn't the only surprise at the top of the draft though as San Antonio now has an interesting choice to make at No.

Now, Almansa isn't as young (19) or as big (6'10"), but he also isn't as raw. He has intriguing ball skills as both a high-post playmaker and a face-up attacker, and he shows soft touch on in-between shots like hooks and floaters. His motor runs high on the glass and the defensive end, too.

Kyrie Irving shared his first post after the Dallas Mavericks won the 2025 NBA draft lottery. The event where the Atlanta Hawks were given the No. 1 overall pick in 2024 was conducted Monday at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago.
