Height: 6' 10" | Weight: 220 | Age: 19 | Freshman As of Thursday afternoon, the top three picks felt a bit more certain, with Smith the likely selection here for the Magic. There’s been radio silence out of Orlando for the entire predraft process, but it doesn’t feel like a shocker is in the cards, and Smith is viewed by many around the NBA as the ...
Height: 7' 0" | Weight: 190 | Age: 20 | Freshman With less than 24 hours until the draft, the general suspicion around the NBA remains that Oklahoma City will select Holmgren at No. 2. Teams drafting behind the Thunder have prepared for the unexpected, and with the way OKC operates, they’d be remiss not to. I have yet to find someone around the lea...
Height: 6' 10" | Weight: 250 | Age: 19 | Freshman This pick is believed to be Banchero’s backstop, with a surprise decision ahead of this feeling less likely as of Thursday afternoon. Of the projected top three prospects, Banchero was the only one to work out for Houston, and he’s thought to be comfortable landing with the Rockets, who appear to be...
Height: 6' 8" | Weight: 225 | Age: 21 | Sophomore The Kings have continued to discuss trade possibilities involving this pick, with a wide range of teams intrigued by the potential availability of not only Jaden Ivey, but Murray at this spot. Sacramento has been listening, with a well-known organizational interest in improving the roster and making...
Height: 6' 4" | Weight: 200 | Age: 20 | Sophomore As reported by ESPN, the Pistons traded Jerami Grant to Portland on Wednesday for a return headlined by a lightly protected Milwaukee 2025 first-round pick. The Pistons and Blazers also swapped second-rounders in that deal. That trade gives Detroit $43 million in cap space entering free agency. Whil...
Height: 6' 6" | Weight: 210 | Age: 19 | Sophomore It’s not much of a secret around the NBA at this point that the Pacers strongly covet Keegan Murray, with their preferred outcome being one where he falls to No. 6. There’s been chatter as of Thursday morning that the Pacers remain interested in trading up to No. 4, and rival teams think Murray woul...
Height: 6' 7” | Weight: 195 | Age: 19 This pick has become a critical swing spot in the draft, with the rest of the league waiting to see if Portland decides to make a deal. As evidenced by Wednesday’s acquisition of Grant from Detroit, the Blazers are trying to jump-start their pathway back to the playoffs around Damian Lillard. Portland has been ...
Height: 6' 8" | Weight: 220 | Age: 19 | Freshman The Pelicans’ intentions at this spot have been difficult for other teams to read, as they don’t have a defined area of need on the roster and are also thought to be considering various trade opportunities. Whoever New Orleans drafts won’t be under pressure to contribute immediately, and it has futur...
Height: 6' 11" | Weight: 250 | Age: 18 | Freshman With the 20th, 25th and 38th picks also in hand, the Spurs are in a flexible position here, able to take whoever they like most and focus on positional contingencies later. With Dyson Daniels and Jeremy Sochanoff the board, the upside of players like Shaedon Sharpe or Ousmane Dieng might be tempting...
Height: 6' 5” | Weight: 195 | Age: 20 | Sophomore The Wizards continue to explore trade options with this pick and have shown interest in upgrading their backcourt as they look to improve the roster around Bradley Beal. They’ve been tipped as a team with interest in trading up for Jaden Ivey, but realistically may not have enough to offer to actual...

Jun 22, 2022 · MOST COMMON PICKS. No. 1 (Magic): Jabari Smith (10) No. 2 (Thunder): Chet Holmgren (10)
- Bryan Kalbrosky
- Orlando Magic: Chet Holmgren. Gonzaga Bulldogs: Big, Freshman, 7-1. I’d still consider Auburn’s Jabari Smith the favorite to hear his name called with the first overall pick with Holmgren in Oklahoma City.
- Oklahoma City Thunder: Jabari Smith. Auburn Tigers: Wing, Freshman, 6-10. As the favorite to go No. 1 overall, Smith said he only worked out for two teams during the pre-draft process: the Magic and the Thunder.
- Houston Rockets: Paolo Banchero. Duke Blue Devils: Wing, Freshman, 6-10. Duke’s Paolo Banchero was recently asked about his potential fit in Houston (via Rockets Wire)
- Sacramento Kings: Keegan Murray. Iowa Hawkeyes: Big, Sophomore, 6-8. This is the highest pick that could be traded on draft night, per HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto.
