March Madness is gradually coming to an end, and the four college programs competing for the coveted NCAA title are set. Among them are the top favorites, the Duke Blue Devils, led by the spectacular Cooper Flagg, who will be playing his final games at the collegiate level.

The NBA is already eagerly awaiting Flagg. He is projected to be the first overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, and for now, the team most likely to land the Duke star is the Washington Wizards. The capital’s team is in the best position to select the NCAA standout.

The Wizards are considering Taylor Jenkins as their new Head Coach

In a move that surprised many, Taylor Jenkins was dismissed by the Memphis Grizzlies and is now expected to be one of the most sought-after coaches this offseason. Jenkins is the leading candidate for the Washington Wizards’ head coaching job, as the franchise aims to undergo a major transformation-with Cooper Flagg at the center of its rebuild.

Before his firing, Jenkins had a 54 percent winning percentage with the Grizzlies. He is known for his intensity, strong character, and, most importantly, his ability to develop young players.

Reports suggest that current Wizards coach Brian Keefe will not continue in his role, leaving the position open for Jenkins. This has sparked excitement among Wizards fans, as they anticipate a new coach and, more importantly, the potential arrival of Cooper Flagg.

The excitement of having Jenkins in Washington

Jenkins holds an NBA coaching record of 250-215. Notably, he successfully coached Ja Morant, a rising league star who could quickly become an option for the Wizards. A potential lineup featuring Morant and Flagg would be highly intriguing, especially if the team manages to retain Khris Middleton.

For now, Cooper Flagg and the Blue Devils are preparing for their game against the Houston Cougars in the Final Four.

Fantasy football 2025 NFL Draft player grades: Every pick from Cam Ward to Brashard Smith and more

The 2025 NFL Draft might be done, but the excitement is still bubbling over. It’s time for NFL draft grades for fantasy football. If you haven’t seen this piece from past years, each player gets two grades. The first draft grade is redraft-only value (2025). The second is the player’s dynasty grade/potential.AdvertisementThe draft grades are weighted in tiers of sorts. A’s are your stars — players who can or will become a No. 1 at their position (RB1, TE1, etc.). For B’s, we’re talking about second and some third-tier starters in all leagues. When we get to C’s, those are fringe starters, maybe some boom/bust plays, etc. D’s are waiver wire players with maybe some Best Ball or the rare bye week/matchup play potential. Any player graded lower is a non-factor in fantasy.For those wanting to go deeper, you can […]
