Denver Nuggets (via Thunder):Jordan Walsh (Arkansas, SF, Freshman). Atlanta Hawks: Caleb Houstan (Michigan, SF, Freshman), 45.

Griffin could fall outside the top 10, especially if the Spurs take Sochan, Duren or Dieng.

In the next tier, Daniels has become the desirable star role player with a high floor that suggests a team can't go wrong. Come June, his sales pitch to scouts will presumably lead with highlight film from last week's 33-point, nine-rebound, six-assist game against the Pirates. New Orleans Pelicans (via Lakers): Dyson Daniels (G League Ignite, PG/SG, 2003), 9. Scouting reports and player. Its the third consecutive time hes projected as the fifth overall pick in our aggregate mock draft. Houston Rockets (via Nets):Ousmane Dieng (New Zealand Breakers, SG/SF, 2003), 18. Once the big three are off the board, Jaden Ivey has become the popular answer for next-best-prospect as he continues to show dramatic improvement as a shooter. Even if his tools, limited athleticism and lack of scoring firepower make it tough to detect star upside, every team should have some degree of his interest in his adaptable skill set/ mentality and obvious defensive gifts. 31. Philadelphia 76ers:Jaden Hardy (G League Ignite, SG, 2003), 24. In any other class outside of a generational talent like Wembanyama, Henderson would be the No. Los Angeles Lakers:Terrence Shannon Jr. (Texas Tech, SG/SF, Senior). Boston Celtics:Moussa Diabate (Michigan, PF/C, Freshman), 56. The Rockets are believed to be feeling stress-free at No. His lack of explosion and decision-making could allow teams in the late lottery or teens to have a shot at grabbing him later than most expected in October. Though Sassers 61 size and limited athleticism hurt his perceived NBA projection, a team still figures to buy his super sharpe ball-handling for creation and shooting ability. He's been outstanding rising up in the mid-range, converting 25-or-44 two-point jumpers. Averaging 14.3 points with Ignite, King has entered the draft chat by spot-up shooting and converting timely drives and tough paint finishes. He continues to astound with off-the-dribble fluidity and coordination into jumpers and runners.

Minnesota Timberwolves: Wendell Moore Jr. (Duke, SG/SF, Junior), 20. Charlotte Hornets (via Nuggets):JJ Starling (Notre Dame, SG, Freshman). Between the shooting versatility, drives past closeouts, post buckets and body-controlled finishes, the jump hes making looks similar to Keegans last year. 25. Houston Rockets: Paolo Banchero (Duke, PF, Freshman), 4. After all, most top prospects Gonzaga's Chet Holmgren, Auburn's Jabari Smith and Duke's Paolo Banchero typically save their on-court . We havent seen much passing or exciting defensive plays from Jackson, though between his age (18), tools, budding perimeter skill, rim activity and motor, teams should picture translatable double-doubles. The second-leading freshman scorer at 17.5 points, Mintz should creep his way onto NBA radars with his ball-handling and off-the-dribble footwork for creation, mid-range shot-making, secondary playmaking, rim pressure and defensive energy. The top of the 2022 NBA draft is looking stronger by the month. Hes got a chance to be really good. He's currently in a brutal slump that's exposed questions about his shooting and finishing (44.6 percent at rim, zero made floaters). Memphis Grizzlies (via Cavaliers): Jabari Walker (Colorado, PF, Sophomore), 48. The nation's leader in true shooting percentage and box plus-minus, Holmgren would likely be the clear No. 46. He looks like an easy NBA fit anywhere as a combo capable of making a big impact on relatively low usage. While NBA teams hold final workouts, solidify their boards and brainstorm trade ideas, they're also calling around to gather intel about what rivals are thinking. May 27, 2022 12:04 pm CT. With the 2022 NBA draft combine (May 16-22) officially in the books, many mock draft pick projections aren't significantly changed at the top of the first round. 12 and 30 picks, Memphis, with picks Nos. And he's totaled 88 assists to 33 turnovers, looking comfortable and willing in a facilitator/passer role. Holmgren has also been linked to the Thunder at No. The team with the worst record cannot fall below No. Considering Ivey is widely thought of as the best prospect after the Big Three of freshmen, the Kings could pick him and test his fit or post-draft trade value. 32. Shooting over 40.0 percent from three for the third consecutive season, Scheierman should have fans who see a shot-making, ball-moving role player. Orlando Magic (via Pacers): Jaylin Williams (Arkansas, C, Sophomore), 38. He doesnt have the most believable three-point stroke, but between his 66 size, scoring versatility, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals, Council has enough working for him for scouts to start taking him seriously. The top of the 2022 NBA draft is looking stronger by the month. Atlanta Hawks (via Nets):Terrance Arceneaux (Houston, SG, Freshman). Lewis isn't the defensive stopper scouts hope for in a 6'7", 245-pound combo forward. Minnesota Timberwolves:Ousmane Dieng (New Zealand Breakers, SG/SF, 2003), 46. 39. . During Wisconsin's win over Minnesota on Sunday, Davis once again took over late when his team needed a basket. He has sleeper potential after measuring 6'7" in shoes and shooting over 38.0 percent from three in consecutive years overseas. There is even some disagreement about how the top. Otherwise, Davis' rebounding (7.9 per game), defensive activity and leadership highlight his ability to impact games in multiple ways. 2, and most around the league are hearing that he'll be the Oklahoma City Thunder's pick if Orlando takes Smith. Wembanyama seemingly has no weakness in his game. His speed and quickness testing results in Chicago were underwhelming. New Orleans Pelicans (via Cavaliers): Iverson Molinar (Mississippi State, PG/SG, Junior), 56. 45. And then there is the Sacramento Kings' No. Milwaukee Bucks: Mark Williams (Duke, C, Sophomore), 24. Jaquez scores and competes with the type of craftiness, physicality and defensive toughness for teams to look past his three-point percentages and athletic limitations. But they wouldnt cause a team like the Houston Rockets to hesitate. Atlanta Hawks:Jett Howard (Michigan, SG/SF, Freshman). Atlanta Hawks:Jalen Williams (Santa Clara, PG/SG, Junior), 17. There will be teams who don't have him in their top 50s. Hes now considered the fourth overall pick in consecutive aggregate mock drafts. San Antonio Spurs: Anthony Black (Arkansas, PG/SG, Freshman). Offensively, theyre going to struggle. Cleveland Cavaliers: Ochai Agbaji (Kansas, SG/SF, Senior). Memphis Grizzlies (via Timberwolves):James Nnaji (Barcelona, C, 2004).

San Antonio Spurs (via Celtics): Nikola Jovic (Mega, SF, 2003), 26. Hes even made 8-of-17 threes, showing a different level of confidence stepping into longer jumpers. And chances are, mystery and perceived upside will work in his favor during the predraft process. The Auburn freshman added another impact performance to his resume over the weekend with 23 points and 12 boards against Oklahoma. If Smiths first four games are an indication of whats to come this season, the decision to pass on 2022 first-round interest should pay off. Houston, 13-47 2. Victor Wembanyamaremains the unanimous No. In this case, Kevin Porter Jr. would presumably slide to the wing between Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr. 3. That's still whom NBA staffers would bet their money on at No. Chet Holmgren's 74.2 percent two-point percentage and 45.6 percent three-point shooting would clearly help the NBA's, We've never seen Holmgren's type or level of two-way skill. Sacramento Kings: Kendall Brown (Baylor, SF, Freshman), 38. I cant think of anybody sinceLeBron James who was considered a better prospect than Wembanyama, an executive told HoopsHype. Paolo Banchero leads the way as the Kia Rookie of the Year chase begins to head for the finish line. Scouts could see Arceneaux excelling in a three-and-D role for Houston (38.1 percent 3PT, 3.3 steals per 40) and picture his shooting and defensive instincts translating to that same role at the NBA level. Some team may decide it's worth gambling on his unique college success with a second-round pick. Shooting has been viewed as the obvious swing skill for Lewis. Jarace Walker enters the Top 10. Watson could be drafted in the 30s by a team that sees too good of a buy-low opportunity, but I'm still betting on a more serious slide. Even in November, it seems like there isnt much left for Victor Wembanyama to prove. Playing against the top competition outside the NBA, hes starting to earn some minutes for physical tools and athleticism that NBA teams could eventually use for finishing, offensive rebounds and defense. Pray for Victor (Wembanyama), some might say. He can still improve on his off-the-dribble creation and execution, but consider that room for growth. The Magic would ultimately have no problem playing Smith with Jalen Suggs, which could push Cole Anthony into a sixth-man role that may better suit his strengths and weaknesses. Denver Nuggets: Christian Braun (Kansas, SG/SF, Junior). You'll get exclusive content every month and be a key part of the NBA Draft Room community.

Best rank:2 (ESPN, The Athletic, Bleacher Report, The Ringer,NBADraft.net, Sports Illustrated, CBS Sports, Yahoo, SB Nation, USA TODAYs For The Win). The top prospects in this class are guard Matas Buzelis, who will be 18 years old and will play for the G League Ignite, and Cody Williams, the younger brother of Jalen Williams. New York Knicks:Gradey Dick (Kansas, SF, Freshman). While it seems like a long shot for the junior to break out the self-creation, he still possesses an easy-fit NBA skill set for off-ball scoring. But he's starting to knock down jumpers off pull-ups and screens. Whether he can rise into the top-five mix will come down to sustaining a similar level of jump-shot makes, and if he can showcase more off-the-dribble skill or burst once Alabamas schedule picks up. Charlotte Hornets: Mark Williams (Duke, C, Sophomore), 14. Depending on how the next month goes, he may be better suited to return to school and shoot for the 2023 lottery. Despite what certain teams might think about Bates decision-making and demeanor, his combination of 69 size and shot-making may become difficult to resist. Teams will show a willingness to stay patient with Thompons skill development, given the level of quickness and explosion has he possesses for attacking, finishing and defending at baseline.

How much off-the-dribble improvement he shows will dictate the trajectory of his rise. This late in the draft, a team may put more stock into Nunezs special facilitating and passing than the questions about his shooting and physical traits. The 13-time All-Star, who was dealt to Phoenix on Feb. 9, has not played in a game since Jan. 8 when he was with the Nets. Hes bound to resemble a pro scorer once his confidence and comfort level return, though sequences of energy plays, secondary playmaking and defensive pressure should help round out Whiteheads scouting profile. 4-11. Houston Rockets (via Nets): Jean Montero (Overtime Elite, PG, 2003), 23. 35 figures to be available. Cleveland Cavaliers (via Heat): Yannick Nzosa (Unicaja, C, 2003), 59.

Now he'll just be hoping to hear his name called, though his defensive talent seems undeniable. These are valued scouting opportunities, given the rare matchups that take place between quality opponents. Seabron is interesting because of his ACC production, combine production and glaring weakness as a shooter. We've never seen Holmgren's type or level of two-way skill. A team like the Orlando Magic could see an interchangeable guard, capable of creating or playmaking from the point or scoring and shooting as a 2.

Indiana Pacers (via Heat): Jahvon Quinerly (Alabama, PG, Junior), 57. Banchero isn't as convincing of a three-pointer shooter or defender as Jabari Smith or Chet Holmgren, but his combination of 6'10", 250-pound size, self-creation and shot-making skill points to star-caliber scoring potential. Playoff teams could see an NBA-ready backup they can trust to run offense and make good decisions and enough open shots. He also worked out for the Sacramento Kings this week, though they'd be more of a trade-down team. Minnesota Timberwolves (via Wizards): Ryan Rollins (Toledo, PG/SG, Sophomore), 41. He's shot better as of late, making 40.0 percent of his threes over Baylor's last five games. His ability to guard perimeter players will dictate where he plays, whether its the three or four, or whether its a combination of both in time., Best rank:4 (ESPN, SB Nation, Yahoo, For The Win).
