Jeremiah Fears continues to build momentum ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft, and sources tell me multiple teams are showing serious interest in the 6’4” Oklahoma Sooners guard.
The Washington Wizards are among the teams that highly covet Fears. Those close to the player believe that if Washington selects him, he will get immediate playing time in their backcourt. With the Wizards in a rebuilding phase, adding a confident scorer and playmaker like Fears fits their plan perfectly.
On the West Coast, the Utah Jazz remain one of his strongest supporters. Having already brought him in for multiple workouts, the Jazz like what they see from Fears both on and off the court. While they have the No. 5 overall pick, sources close to Fears say the relationship with Utah is strong—and the team values his competitiveness and versatility.
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets are showing significant interest in Fears as well. League insiders confirm that Brooklyn wants him “really bad” but is skeptical they’ll be able to land him at their No. 8 pick. Those around Fears believe that if he ends up in Brooklyn, he will also find early playing opportunities, given the Nets’ current roster construction and need for versatile guards.
Fears’ ability to score, distribute, and compete at a high level has made him an attractive prospect to multiple front offices. Averaging 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.1 assists this past season at Oklahoma, he’s proven he can impact the game in several ways.
At 6’4”, Fears combines size, skill, and grit, drawing comparisons to players like Monta Ellis, Jamal Murray, Jordan Poole, Josh Hart, and Scoot Henderson. His versatility and toughness have earned him respect around the league and the confidence of several teams that see him as an immediate contributor.
As draft day approaches, it’s clear Jeremiah Fears has not only established himself as a promising talent but also positioned himself as a player who could make an instant impact, no matter which team calls his name.
