After months of waiting, the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes will conclude on Monday during the NBA Draft Lottery. The Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets all have an equal chance (14%) of winning the lottery and changing the direction of their respective franchise for years to come.

The Nets' full reset became complete when they traded Mikal Bridges for draft picks. The timing made sense before a hyped 2025 draft class. Winning the lottery would obviously justify their moves and strategy. They'll have the sixth-best odds at 9.0 percent to add Cooper Flagg, who'd receive top-option reps for a rebuilding roster.

Were this to happen, the Raptors passing on Harper’s Rutgers teammate Bailey would be the story. Bailey is a rail-thin, tough-shot taker (and, occasionally, maker). With his size on the wing (6-10), he could absolutely be a Raptors-type prospect.
