They’ve made several offers to teams in the top five. In these talks, they even offered to trade some “surprising names” from their roster. That’s what league sources told Grant Afseth.

Right now, the Wizards have pick No. 6 and pick No. 18. But they want more.

Why? They are targeting two of the best young guards in the draft—Dylan Harper and Jeremiah Fears.

Dylan Harper is a 6'5" guard known for his smart plays and calm game. He is from Don Bosco Prep in New Jersey and is ranked as a top prospect. Most experts think he will be picked in the top three.

Jeremiah Fears is another top guard. He’s known for his quick moves and strong defense. Scouts like his energy and court vision.

So far, no team has accepted the Washington Wizards’ trade offers. But talks are still going.

Dylan Harper and Jeremiah Fears could reshape the Washington Wizards’ future
Dylan Harper and Jeremiah Fears are two of the biggest names in the 2025 NBA Draft. Dylan is the son of Ron Harper, a five-time NBA champion. He’s calm on the court, makes smart passes, and scores when it matters. If the Washington Wizards get him, he could become the face of their team.

Jeremiah Fears is smaller but very fast. He can shoot from deep and guard top players. He grew up in Illinois and quickly became a top name in the draft class.

The NBA Draft will happen on June 26, in Brooklyn, New York.

If the Washington Wizards want either of these players, they’ll need to act fast. And they may need to give up a big name to get what they want.

Fans are waiting to see what will happen next.
