The Dallas Mavericks pulled off the near-impossible on Monday night when they won the NBA Draft Lottery on a 1.8% chance. They jumped all the way up from 11th, becoming the team with the lowest odds to win the lottery since the NBA changed the lottery odds in 2019.

Knueppel was projected as the No. 10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft by Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman in his latest mock draft. He possesses a 6-foot-6, 217-pound frame and was named NCAA All-Region, All-ACC and was the MVP of the ACC Conference Tournament.
