The 2022 NBA Draft might be one of the most unpredictable ones in recent history.
Just a few days after the NBA Finals, draft night vastly approaches. As a result, Barclays Center in Brooklyn will be filled with young men moments away from a life long dream. Chet Holmgren, Paolo Banchero, and Jabari Smith Jr. seem to round out the top three but the order is still in question. However, guys like Dyson Daniels and Bennedict Mathurin seem to be rising highly on NBA Draft Boards. The mystery man, Shaedon Sharpe along with Jeremy Sochan and A.J Griffin are for sure lottery picks, but are guys who fluctuate just about anywhere outside the top three.
Green room invites have been finalized and teams are conducting their final pre-draft workouts. I can’t wait until Thursdays draft much like most of you so here is my lottery mock draft right before the main event.
In short, below are all 14 picks but reasoning and explanation for the picks will be provided in the video shown below the listed picks.
