The Dallas Mavericks have scheduled a workout and visit with top NBA draft prospect Cooper Flagg for June 17, ESPN reported Sunday.

The Mavericks, owners of the top overall selection, plan to work out no players other than Flagg, the heavy favorite to be the first player selected in the June 25 draft.

The organization has been public about its intention to select Flagg with the top choice.

Dallas won the lottery in an upset last month. With just a 1.8 percent chance of landing the top pick, Dallas jumped 10 spots to become the team with the fourth-longest odds in history to win the lottery.

The Orlando Magic (1.52 percent) in 1993 had the lowest chance, followed by the 2008 Chicago Bulls and the 2014 Cleveland Cavaliers, who won with odds of just 1.7 percent.

Flagg, a 6-foot-9 forward, won the Naismith and Wooden Awards as college basketball's best player in his single college season at Duke last year. The Maine product averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists while shooting 48.1 percent from the field for the 35-4 Blue Devils.
