• The Dream: Cooper Flagg, Toronto Raptor

  21-04-2025 22:10 via raptorsrepublic.com
  
  The chances are slim, but they do exist. The Raptors finished their season with the 7th worst record in the NBA, and have a 7.5% chance at the #1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft.

  Flagg has officially declared for the 2025 Draft, so on the off chance that Flagg ends up as a Raptor? Let’s learn about his game.There’s some te
