Three major highlights of the 2025 NBA draft night: No. 1 pick joins and reconstructs the western pattern, rebellious new stars trigger trading speculation

When the dome of Barclays Center in New York lit up, the basketball world ushered in an important moment to change the league pattern. At the 2025 NBA Draft held on June 26, the 14 lottery teams made a shocking symphony of fate.

No. 1 pick: Dallas's reconstruction password The Mavericks management locked the choice in the 37th second after winning the No. 1 pick - Cooper Flag, a forward genius from Duke University. The 2.08-meter-high 18-year-old boy came to the American Airlines Center with his terrifying data averaged 21.3 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game, forming the first active three-no.com lineup in NBA history with Irving and Anthony Davis. Draft night special guest Nowitzki revealed in an interview: "Cooper's defensive prediction reminds me of Garnett when he was young, and his three-point shooting percentage (38.9%) is enough to support the forward needs of modern basketball. "

The inheritance of the Holy City: The son of the legend continues to write the legend. Drake Harper, who was picked by the Spurs with the second draw, showed his talent in matching his father Ron Harper's five championship rings under the spotlight. This dual-energy guard produced by Rutgers University was praised by ESPN analyst Pelton as the "most complete offensive weapon of this year" for his crazy performance of 42 points in a single game in the NCAA Championship. Popovich revealed at a press conference: "Drake will form the fastest backcourt combination in the league with Fox, and their passes to Vampanyama will be just as good as Texas steak. "

Philadelphia Gambling: A Game of Talent and Risk The Sixers' Management used the Title Lottery to choose Baylor University's Trey Edgecombe. This decision made season ticket holders of Wells Fargo Center both excited and worried. The scout report shows that the point guard with a 2.21-meter wingspan averaged 8.9 assists per game in the NCAA, but his 32.7% three-point shooting percentage became a significant shortcoming. Embiid posted on social media: "Welcome to the City of Process!" The picture is a photo of the two practicing pick-and-roll tactics in the training hall.

Undercurrent: The butterfly effect of rebellious new stars When Adam Xiao Hua read "The Utah Jazz chose Cameron Bailey", there was a dramatic silence at the draft. The forward, who refused to try out the Hornets and other five teams, walked straight to the player channel after learning the results. According to the Salt Lake City Tribune, Bailey's team has officially submitted a deal application, and Jazz General Manager Zanick responded strongly: "The people we choose will wear Jazz jerseys to step onto the floor of the center of the Delta. "

It is worth noting that there is a rare "Duke Three Masters" phenomenon in this lottery area. The joining of Kniper and Maluach has allowed the Blue Devils' power to continue to expand in the NBA. German striker Essanger became the second Bundesliga player to land in the lottery after Schroeder. His European breakthrough video has won 2.3 million views on TikTok.

With the Suns taking off the franchise-protecting center Maluach from the Rockets, the Western arms race entered a white-hot stage. Senior journalist Wonardovsky pointed out: "This draft night contains three time bombs - Dallas' No. chemistry, Philadelphia's backcourt height flaws, Utah's locker room crisis, all of which will detonate at some point in the new season.
