The Cooper Flagg Show is here. Or, as most are calling it, the 2025 NBA draft.
This year’s draft is split over two nights. On Wednesday, June 26 we’ll have the first round where Flagg is widely expected to be taken with the first overall pick by the Dallas Mavericks.
The draft is taking place this year at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, home of the Nets. You’ll hear a lot about the Nets tonight as they have five picks in the first round.
A name you won’t hear is the Cleveland Cavaliers who don’t have a first-round pick this year due to the Donovan Mitchell trade.
The draft starts at 8 p.m. on ESPN and ABC. Teams have five minutes to make a pick or trade it away. The second round is on Thursday, June 26 at 8 p.m. on ESPN.
