The Dallas Mavericks pulled off the improbable on Monday night, jumping from No. 11 to No. 1 in the NBA Draft Lottery. It was simply an incredible rise for the Mavericks, who had a 1.8% chance to land the top pick prior to the festivities.

The Dallas Mavericks had less than a 2% chance of winning Monday's NBA Draft Lottery and yet that is exactly what happened.  That wasn't the only surprise at the top of the draft though as San Antonio now has an interesting choice to make at No.

The Mavericks refused to lock up Quentin Grimes long-term before trading him to the 76ers at the trade deadline.
