Where will Duke freshman star Cooper Flagg be playing next season?
The Washington Wizards, who last had the No. 1 pick in 2010, can picture Flagg in their lineup alongside Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly and Bub Carrington – and they envision becoming the next Houston Rockets – a team built around quality young players and savvy veterans.
The Utah Jazz have never had the No.1 overall pick, and Utah’s front office led by Danny Ainge and Justin Zanik would love to win the draft lottery. They are sending co-owner Ashley Smith to Monday’s NBA draft lottery for good luck.
