For the second time in franchise history, the Dallas Mavericks<\/a> have secured the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft.<\/p>\n

In one of the most unlikeliest of circumstances, the Mavs turned a 1.8% chance to obtain the top spot into the opportunity to presumably select Duke star Cooper Flagg<\/a> in two weeks. <\/p>\n

To celebrate the potentially franchise-changing occasion, the team announced Friday it will hold a \u201cMavs Draft Party\u201d for fans to watch the first round unfold on June 25 at American Airlines Center. <\/p>\n

Dallas play-by-play announcer\u00a0Mark Followill, commentator\u00a0Jeff \u201cSkin\u201d Wade<\/a>\u00a0and ESPN analyst\u00a0Ted Emrich are set to host \u201cThe MavsTV Draft Show\u201d from AAC.<\/p>\n
