The Washington Wizards currently lead the race to earn the top pick in the NBA Draft with a league-worst record of 9-45.
Washington has many big decisions to make heading into the offseason. Between the future of the multiple veterans like Khris Middleton, Marcus Smart and Malcolm Brogdon and the uncertain future of Jordan Poole, general manager Will Dawkins will have plenty of tasks to complete in the coming months.
However, nothing is more important than how the Wizards approach the NBA Draft in one o fthe more pivotal offseason of the team's long-awaited rebuild.
That said, here's a look at another way too early mock draft to see what Washington's future draft class COULD look like.
Round 1, Pick 1: G/F Cooper Flagg, Duke
Cooper Flagg is far and away the top prospect in this upcoming draft class. The Duke star has consistently proven why teams have coveted this draft class over the season averaging 19,7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 4 assists per game on the season, shooting 48.6% from field goal range.
Flagg has it all, from being one of the top scorers in the nation to being an underrated facilitator and the ability to serve as a primary ball handler at 6-foot-9; you name it. If the freshman sensation is available, he will almost certainly be the top pick whether its the Wizards or another team.
The only concern is that the talented playmaker doesn't enter the draft after he teased that he could be considering a return to college for his sophomore season in recent weeks.
Round 1, Pick 27 (via MEM): SF/PF Adou Thiero, Arkansas
Adou Thiero spent two seasons at Kentucky before following head coach John Calipari to an SEC rival in Arkansas. Since transferring, the forward has used the change of scenery to break out in his junior season averaging 15.8 points, 6 rebounds and 1.9 assists on 55.1% shooting from field goal range.
The Razorback product has slowly risen up draft boards and it wouldn't be a shock to see Washington take a flier on Thiero and see if they can tap into the potential he's shown flashes of.
Round 2, Pick 41 (via PHX): C Johni Broome, Auburn
Johni Broome is a frontrunner for the Wooden Award in college this season, and understandably so. He's been the best player for the No. 1 team in the nation averaging 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 3.4 assists on the season shooting an efficient 50.1% from the field.
The big man understands how to play a role and his lengthy college experience could translate well to him making an immediate impact at the next level. Broome could be a solid second round flier for the Wizards.
Round 2, Pick 46 (via GSW): G Isaiah Evans, Duke
Isaiah Evans is a former five-star recruit that hasn't gotten much opportunity to prove how impactful he can be with Duke this season. The freshman is averaging 6.6 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game, while shooting 45.4% from the field in only 13.1 minutes per game this season.
The talent is there, but the opportunity hasn't been, largely due to how stacked the Blue Devils roster is, especially in the backcourt. If Evans does commit to the one-and-done plan many top incoming freshmans due, he could be the perfect final pick for the Wizards as they have plenty of time to develop him.
