Brooklyn Nets Philadelphia 76ers The 76ers traded the 23rd pick and Danny Green to the Grizzlies for De’Anthony Melton, who is a reliable backup point guard. He just averaged 10.8 PPG, 2.7 APG, and 1.4 SPG on a 37.4 3PT%. Philadelphia simultaneously moved Green’s contract and acquired a guard who can keep the Embiid-less minutes competitive. It was...
Detroit Pistons 1. Jaden Ivey (5) 2. Jalen Duren (13) 3. Gabriele Procida (36) What a draft for Detroit! Jaden Ivey has superstar potential and pairs perfectly with Cade Cunningham. Their backcourt now features one of the most electric duos in the NBA. They solidified their center position by trading for the hyper-athletic Jalen Duren. He will lock...
Charlotte Hornets 1. Mark Williams (15) 2. Bryce McGowens (40) Charlotte fixed their massive center problem by selecting an equally massive prospect. He’s 7’2” with a 9’9” standing reach. The Hornets now have elite rim protection and a lob threat for LaMelo Ball, a crafty playmaker. McGowens, meanwhile, is an athletic shooting guard with some off t...
Indiana Pacers 1. Bennedict Mathurin (6) 2. Andrew Nembhard (31) 3. Kendall Brown (48) Ivey didn’t fall to them, but Mathrun will be a fantastic 3&D player at a minimum. He showed some off the dribble capability and can be a future All-Star if everything breaks for him. Nembhard is a steady presence who can handle the ball for the bench unit. Kenda...
Chicago Bulls 1. Dalen Terry (18) With their only selection, the Bulls took Dalen Terry. He’s 6’7” and showed fantastic playmaking flashes. His perimeter defense can be suffocating, especially because of his 7’1” wingspan. He will not necessarily contribute heavily to the Bulls next season, but Terry is a potential steal. Cleveland Cavaliers 1....
Atlanta Hawks 1. AJ Griffin (16) 2. Tyrese Martin (51) AJ Griffin was perhaps the best catch and shoot player in this draft, and he has desirable size at 6’6” with a 7’0” wingspan. He has off the dribble scoring and defensive upside, but he is sort of redundant with De’Andre Hunter. Plus, he likely fell because of a scary medical history. It’s a go...
Golden State Warriors 1. Patrick Baldwin Jr (28) 2. Ryan Rollins (44) 3. Gui Santos (55) Patrick Baldwin Jr possesses a ton of upside, but he’s definitely a project. With the Warriors core approaching the end of their prime, they should have added an immediate contributor and taken a risk with their later picks. Rollins can run the pick and roll, a...
Los Angeles Lakers 1. Max Christie (35) Christie isn’t a bad pick at 35, but it was for the Lakers. They needed a win-now, older prospect who can come off the bench for them next season. LeBron’s window with the Lakers is tiny at this point, and Christie doesn’t widen it in the slightest. Good player, wrong situation. New York Knicks 1. Trevor Ke...
Sacramento Kings 1. Keegan Murray (4) Don’t get me wrong, I think Keegan Murray will be a contributing player in the mold of Tobias Harris. He’s a great prospect who will help Sacramento immediately. But Jaden Ivey – a potential superstar – was available! They have to take Ivey’s upside and worry about the fit later. Plus, they could have traded do...
- Houston Rockets (A+) Jabari Smith (3rd), Tari Eason (17th), TyTy Washington (29th) So what if Banchero — the presumed target for weeks — got taken? Smith dropping to them could be huge.
- Oklahoma City Thunder (A+) Chet Holmgren (2nd), Ousmane Dieng (11th), Jalen Williams (12th), Jaylin Williams (34th) Whew, what a haul! As long as Holmgren lives up to the pick — and I think he will!
- Detroit Pistons (A+) Jaden Ivey (5th), Jalen Duren (13th), Gabriele Procida (36th) This grade is also about how they didn’t deal Ivey. He and Cade Cunningham are going to be an amazing duo for years to come.
- Sacramento Kings (A) Keegan Murray (4th) Murray over Jaden Ivey is one of those picks will be talked about in a few years, but I totally dig going in this direction.
- Atlanta Hawks. Drafted: G/F AJ Griffin (Pick #16), G/F Tyrese Martin (Pick #51) Trades: Traded rights to Ryan Rollins (Pick #44) to Golden State Warriors for rights to Tyrese Martin (Pick #51) and $2M in cash considerations.
- Boston Celtics. Drafted: G JD Davison (Pick #54) Trades: NONE. As many expected, the Boston Celtics were very quiet in the 2022 NBA Draft, as they only had one lone second-round pick at No. 54 overall to utilize, which they used on Alabama’s JD Davison.
- GRADE: I guess a C for average, but it is truly UNDECIDED.
- Brooklyn Nets. Drafted: NONE. Trades: NONE. Wait, do you hear that? Those are crickets coming from the Brooklyn Nets draft room and front-office. Quite honestly, I do not even think the Nets were in their own building on draft night because they had no reason to be seeing as all of their draft picks over the next decade are in Houston!
- Orlando Magic: PF Paolo Banchero, Duke. Even though I would have taken Chet Holmgren, I can't say it's wrong to take Banchero. I think he's going to be the most impactful player right from the jump and the favorite to win Rookie of the Year.
- Oklahoma City Thunder: C Chet Holmgren, Gonzaga. The concerns about Holmgren's slight frame are legitimate -- but he's such a unique prospect with incredible potential that he's the right pick here.
- Houston Rockets: PF Jabari Smith, Auburn. For much of the draft process, Smith was assumed to be the No. 1 overall pick. And in a class with three high-level big men prospects, Smith became an easy pick when he slipped to third overall.
- Sacramento Kings: PF Keegan Murray, Iowa. I like Murray, but it's not what I would have done. I would have taken Jaden Ivey. But he made it crystal clear he didn't want to be there.
