- As expected, Cooper Flagg was selected with the first pick.
- Let’s take a look at the ROTY odds for each lottery selection.
With the NBA draft underway, we can finally take a look at the ROTY odds for the upcoming 2025-26 season. 1st-overall pick Cooper Flagg is the favorite by a large margin. He should see immediate success in Dallas post-Luka as the top offensive option. On the other hand, more playoff-ready teams like the 76ers could be set up to better support a ROTY performance, making V.J. Edgecomb another intriguing option.
