As the NBA season approaches, Toronto Raptors' president Masai Ujiri acknowledges the team's dual aim of winning while rebuilding. However, with key players like Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley sidelined, the Raptors are struggling, currently holding a 2-10 record.

The focus has shifted to 17-year-old prospect Cooper Flagg, who has generated significant hype following impressive performances, including a scrimmage against the U.S. men’s team. The Raptors could benefit from securing a high draft pick, but the odds remain slim.

While transformative players are rare, the allure of Flagg's potential keeps fans engaged, even as the Raptors face a challenging season ahead.
