Updated NBA mock draft after first impressions https://t.co/GrORX6nErZ, Jonathan Wasserman (@NBADraftWass) November 23, 2022, 1. Teams within five games of Houston in the standings: The bottom-three teamshave identical oddsof landing a top-four pick in the May 16 draft lottery. Charlotte Hornets (via Wizards):Matthew Murrell (Ole Miss, SG, Junior). Toronto Raptors:Ausar Thompson (Overtime Elite, SG/SF, 2003). A team should find his combination of strength, effective scoring against pros and age worthy of a draft pick. 4 pick. Liddell has not received an invite to the green room, which bodes well for teams' chances of getting him in the 20s. 52. 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's becoming an intriguing sleeper to track given his clear predraft rise, unique game and statistical profile. Memphis Grizzlies: Kennedy Chandler (Tennessee, PG, Freshman), 30. With more initiator reps after transferring from LSU, Gaines has been a playmaking machine, though poor shooting and turnovers will keep his draft stock in check for now. Detroit Pistons (via Nets): Trevion Williams (Purdue, C, Senior), 54. 12, the idea of pairing defensive aces in Holmgren and Duren has to be appealing. To project where Wembanyama and other top prospects stand, HoopsHype compiled 10 mock . Oklahoma City Thunder: Chet Holmgren (Gonzaga, PF/C, Freshman), 3. 5. And teams are still wondering if Holmgren will take a physical. He's currently in a brutal slump that's exposed questions about his shooting and finishing (44.6 percent at rim, zero made floaters). These are valued scouting opportunities, given the rare matchups that take place between quality opponents. 1 pick. San Antonio Spurs: Anthony Black (Arkansas, PG/SG, Freshman). 25. Based on current standings and draft lottery odds, the Houston Rockets would be guaranteed a top-five overall selection in the upcoming 2023 NBA draft.They also have another pick headed their way later in the round, most likely from the Los Angeles Clippers. The latest in the sports world, emailed daily. Brandon Millerwas the No. Best rank:3 (The Athletic, The Ringer,NBADraft.net). Brooklyn Nets (via Hawks):Colby Jones (Xavier, PG/SG, Junior). There is plenty of evidence teams put stock in combine scrimmages. Houston Rockets (via Nets): Tari Eason (LSU, PF, Sophomore), 18. On the court, Miller has drawn comparisons to an eight-time All-Star from NBA talent evaluators. But at 66, he doesnt turn 19 until August and hes already equipped with NBA-level moves for perimeter separation, tough shot-making skill and disruptive defensive tools. New York Knicks (via Wizards):Emoni Bates (Eastern Michigan, SF, Sophomore). With a break in action for 2021 NBA draft prospects, Bleacher Report has spent time talking with scouts and watching film to prepare for the 2022 class.. While were still waiting for the college debuts of Arkansas Nick Smith and Villanovas Cam Whitmore, Amen Thompson remains the favorite at No. Amen Thompsonwas the third overall pick in five of the 10 mock drafts polled and has maintained his current standing as the projected No. 3 pick in the last three aggregate mock drafts. 31. 32. RotoWire considers the best player values in Yahoo fantasy leagues for Wednesday night's slate. Sacramento Kings: Kendall Brown (Baylor, SF, Freshman), 38. Boston Celtics: Dereon Seabron (North Carolina State, SF, Sophomore), 56. 60. 28. However, theres intrigue in Thompson as a prospect due to his size and perimeter defense, with the expectation that his shooting mechanics will improve in the years ahead. Procida is a stash play in all likelihood, though it does feel like he's secured a spot in the 40s or 50s. Oklahoma City Thunder: Brandon Miller (Alabama, SF, Freshman). After that, it's a bit hazier, with Ausar Thompson, Arkansas teammates Nick Smith Jr. and Anthony Black, Keyonte . With the offense running through Peterson, the 23-year-old senior is making a late NBA case by showcasing unique playmaking ability (8.0 assists) for a 69 forward to complement some shooting range and post scoring skill. Charlotte Hornets (via Pelicans): Kennedy Chandler (Tennessee, PG, Freshman), 37. Memphis Grizzlies:Kennedy Chandler (Tennessee, PG, Freshman), 30. 3 with an unmatchable combination of 67 size, elite athletic ability and playmaking skills. 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. Between the shooting versatility, drives past closeouts, post buckets and body-controlled finishes, the jump hes making looks similar to Keegans last year. 23. For a 6'10", 245-pound center, he possesses outstanding mobility and quickness that translates to constant activity. 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. New York Knicks:Marjon Beauchamp (G League Ignite, SF, 2001), 12. 1 pick. Sacramento Kings (via Bulls): Oscar Tshiebwe (Kentucky, PF/C, Junior), 58. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Heat):Coleman Hawkins (Illinois, PF/C, Junior). 6. He'll go first round if the shooting continues to occasionally show up. He's still the nation's fifth-leading scorer while averaging a combined 3.5 steals and blocks. 13, No. The first of the two includes the Thunder trading up to first overall by sending the Orlando Magic the second and 12th pick in exchange . Philadelphia 76ers:Jaden Hardy (G League Ignite, SG, 2003), 24. Orlando Magic:Trevon Brazile (Arkansas, PF/C, Sophomore). They are still in guess mode trying to . Jonathan Wasserman of Bleacher Report recently released a mock draft the 2022 class, which gives insight into where some of the top players in the upcoming rookie class could land. Atlanta Hawks:Jett Howard (Michigan, SG/SF, Freshman). Atlanta Hawks: Patrick Baldwin Jr. (Milwaukee, SF/PF, Freshman), 14. Sacramento Kings (via Bulls): Peyton Watson (UCLA, SF, Freshman), 50. 35. 39. Pray for Victor (Wembanyama), some might say. Memphis Grizzlies:Maxwell Lewis (Pepperdine, SG, Sophomore). His high floor and fit will earn him looks from late-lottery teams who'll be valuing his three-and-D floor. With a second-round pick, NBA teams could bet on Flaglers playmaking (6.8 assists) and shooting (54.3 percent 3PT), allowing him to overcome his mediocre tools and burst. 57. Cleveland Cavaliers (via Spurs): David Roddy (Colorado State, PF, Junior), 40. Braun has fans and could be chosen in the first round. 33. Toronto Raptors (via Pistons): Bryce McGowens (Nebraska, SG, Freshman), 34. Chicago Bulls (via Nuggets):Forfeited, 56. 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. Dallas Mavericks: Max Christie (Michigan State, SG/SF, Freshman), 20. Philadelphia 76ers:Tyrese Proctor (Duke, PG/SG, Freshman). Paolo Banchero leads the way as the Kia Rookie of the Year chase begins to head for the finish line. His range could be from No. This mock draft reflects what we think NBA teams will do, not what we would do. Foster looks to be in good shape, and he was also productive as an 18- and 19-year-old in the G League. The drafts projected young prospect, GG Jackson has been productive early for South Carolina, averaging 16.2 points and 8.0 rebounds with seven threes in five games.Shooting, athletic finishes and energy plays have been behind Jacksons scoring. Scouts wouldn't mind if he attempted more threes, but he's been tough on long twos (16-of-32), a dangerous pull-up threat (40 makes) and accurate from the line (78.2 percent). Hawkins entered the season on breakout watch, and hes quickly delivered some noteworthy stretches of persuasive shooting with a quick, high release. San Antonio Spurs:Brice Sensabaugh (Ohio State, SG, Freshman). How much off-the-dribble improvement he shows will dictate the trajectory of his rise. 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. His lack of creation, wiggle and explosion is evident, but he just turned 19 in January, and NBA teams should still see value in a 6'8" shooter with defensive tools for guarding wings and forwards. Illinois Coleman Hawkins could be an early target in the 2nd round. Orlando Magic: Wendell Moore Jr. (Duke, SG/SF, Junior), 32. Big wings who can handle and play-make are in, though Seabron's knack for getting to the hoop hasn't translated to widespread interest. 19. Scouts have expressed some concern over Washington's athleticism for separating, but he's made up for it at Kentucky with his change of speed, shot-making skill and feel. The Houston Rockets will presumably take whoever falls to them among the group of Jabari Smith, Chet Holmgren and Paolo Banchero. Charlotte Hornets: Patrick Baldwin Jr. (Milwaukee, SF/PF, Freshman). Golden State Warriors: Jarace Walker (Houston, PF, Freshman). Nembhard's 26-point, 11-assist performance in Chicago caught everyone's attention given the freedom he had compared to the facilitator role he played for Gonzaga. Detroit Pistons: Keegan Murray (Iowa, F, Sophomore). Brandon Millers start has been a hop topic early, with the 69 freshman averaging 20.2 points on 15-of-29 from three. There is some buzz about a team in the top four showing extra interest, though it is difficult to picture him going that high, considering general managers are evaluating Sharpe on 2021 AAU tape and workouts. 32 or No. Now he'll just be hoping to hear his name called, though his defensive talent seems undeniable. Inefficiency in the NBL didnt stop Ousmane Dieng from going in the lottery, and it wont prevent teams from picturing Ruperts NBA fit. 36). 2022-23 NBA standings on Feb. 27 Teams within five games of Houston in the standings: 1. Shooting will be an obvious swing skill for the Spurs to unlock Murray's upside, but he's on the right track, having made 32 threes in 20 games. Based on current standings and draft lottery odds, the Houston Rockets would be guaranteed a top-five overall selection in the upcoming 2023 NBA draft. Los Angeles Lakers (via Pelicans):Dillon Mitchell (Texas, PF, Freshman). Charlotte Hornets (via Nuggets):JJ Starling (Notre Dame, SG, Freshman). 15. Utah Jazz (via Sixers):Kelel Ware (Oregon, C, Freshman). Hes got a chance to be really good. 38. Sharpe led the EYLB circuit in scoring with a tantalizing mix of shot-making skill and bounce at the rim, which also happens to be a favorable combination for draft workouts. Tshiebwes path to the pros will call for specialty rebounding and energy, though any signs of improved mid-range or free-throw touch will make him more desirable. Indiana Pacers (via Heat): Jahvon Quinerly (Alabama, PG, Junior), 57. Improved creation/shot-making skills and numbers are fueling Johnny Davis' rise up draft boards, but the struggling Sacramento Kings could put extra stock into the impact he's had on winning. Phoenix Suns:Juan Nunez (Ratiopharm Ulm, PG, 2004). Please check your email for a confirmation. San Antonio Spurs (via Raptors):Dalen Terry (Arizona, PG/SG, Sophomore), 21. B/R's Jonathan Wasserman finds parallels between potential top Draft prospects and current NBA players. Indiana Pacers (via Cavaliers):Julian Strawther (Gonzaga, SF, Junior). Praised for his versatility and defense entering the season, Cason Wallace has delivered, averaging 4.6 assists and 3.4 steals on 8-of-15 from three. One of college basketballs top scorers early (24.5 points), Wilson has been aggressive attacking transition defenses, closeouts and ball screens. One of the coaches last year on the G League Ignite said Scoot was the best player they had, an NBA executive told HoopsHype, per Scotto. 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. He almost feels slept on considering he averaged 14.8 points on 49.0 percent shooting as an 18- and 19-year-old in the G League. And with an 80 wingspan, difficult finishing angles become easy, drop-in baskets. Atlanta Hawks (via Pelicans):Caleb Love (North Carolina, PG/SG, Junior). It's still extremely uncommon to see a guard-wing type generate first-round attention after averaging just 11.5 points per 40 minutes. Sochan is getting looks in the late lottery, as his defensive versatility should be attractive to a number of teams in that range. With recent jumbo-playmaking prospects like Scottie Barnes, Josh Giddey, Dyson Daniels and Franz Wagner going top-10, history says Blacks archetype will be valued. 1, but we're also hearing from teams that the Orlando Magic isn't out on Holmgren. Compared to Smith, Holmgren was far more effective at the rim, and he projects at the higher-impact defender and passer.

And right now, the Detroit Pistons are one of the most likely at 3-15. Minnesota Timberwolves: Wendell Moore Jr. (Duke, SG/SF, Junior), 20. Philadelphia 76ers: EJ Liddell (Ohio State, PF, Junior), 24. Positional wing size (68), shooting potential and IQ/feel are the draws to Durisic, who should look like an NBA fit if his jump-shot development trends upward. 3 pick in three mock drafts and the No. Cleveland Cavaliers: Ochai Agbaji (Kansas, SG/SF, Senior). 29. If a surprise name can shake up the top four, we're hearing it is Sharpe.

That's still whom NBA staffers would bet their money on at No. Though Mitchell hasnt showcased any noticeable skill yet, superpower quickness and leaping could be enough for NBA teams to picture an athletic specialist for finishing and defensive playmaking. The 2024 draft class is headlined by Bronny James, LeBron James' son. 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. Showing hes made adjustments finishing around traffic is what scouts want to see after two years of poor finishing. 10 in this mock draft to the Orlando Magic. New Orleans Pelicans (via Jazz):Hugo Besson (New Zealand Breakers, SG, 2001), 53. Scouts aren't sure what to make of Watson, who recently flashed his defensive potential against Arizona (two blocks, two steals) and some scoring versatility versus California (12 points). The latest in the sports world, emailed daily. 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. He's generating buzz as an option in the 20s. Averaging 14.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.7 steals and 1.5 blocks over Arkansas' last six games, Williams is earning a spot on scouts' watch lists. The lowest he could fall figures to be to the Charlotte Hornets at No. A 7-footer who moves/anticipates like Kessler suddenly hitting threes would be a huge development. It's worth watching how the first few years of his career go if he lands with a playoff team rather than a rebuilding one such as the Oklahoma City Thunder. Scouts are hoping for a chance to evaluate Shaedon Sharpe, who was recently deemed eligible for the draft after enrolling early at Kentucky and spending the last few months just practicing. Scouts figure to have Pepperdines two Gonzaga games highlighted on their schedules. New Orleans Pelicans (via Lakers):Shaedon Sharpe (Kentucky, SG, Freshman), 9. The Indiana Pacers, Portland Trail Blazers, Washington Wizards and New York Knicks have been mentioned as interested parties. Even the Orlando Magic are still doing homework before deciding on their No. His 5.0 assists per game have also been noteworthy and highlight real combo-guard playmaking ability. Miller has the body and looks likePaul George, an NBA scout told HoopsHype, per Scotto. Miami Heat:MarJon Beauchamp (G League Ignite, SF, 2000), 28. 40. Minnesota Timberwolves: Gabriele Procida (Bologna, SF, 2002), 49. Hitting 40.4 percent of his threes and 41.9 percent on pull-ups while averaging over a steal and block per game, Smith isthe best player on the nation's No. Memphis Grizzlies: Bryce McGowens (Nebraska, SG, Freshman), 29. 2, and most around the league are hearing that he'll be the Oklahoma City Thunder's pick if Orlando takes Smith. Physical tools wont be enough for Lively to generate lottery interest, as hes looked fairly limited at both ends in terms of offensive skill and defensive speed. Los Angeles Lakers:Terrence Shannon Jr. (Texas Tech, SG/SF, Senior). Brown's lack of offense became more alarming as the season went on, and his defense didn't appear strong enough to make up for his lack of creation and poor shooting. Golden State Warriors: JD Davison (Alabama, PG, Freshman), 30. He should enter next year as a potential first-rounder because of his 6-foot-10 frame and floor . An immediate physical standout at 67, 225 pounds, Kaluma has appeared to have added more shooting confidence and creation skill. And flashes of self-creation (12-of-26 isolation) hint at the 21-year-old becoming more of a one-on-one threat down the road. Limited shooting may still make some teams hesitate, but Thompson feels like an outlier capable of impacting games without a jumperjust with consistent blow-bys, finishes, assists and defense. 46. His three-ball is falling more frequently, and he's routinely showcased creativity that's getting him to the rim and line (6.1 attempts per game). 17. Intriguing last year as a 610 play-finisher, switchable defender and improving shooter, Hawkins is currently 7-of-17 from three, averaging a combined 3.0 steals and blocks. 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. Shooting has been viewed as the obvious swing skill for Lewis. Kentuckys Cason Wallace has been performing as a potential top-10 pick. Strawther lit up Kentucky for 20 points (and 14 boards), scoring with that projectable shooting stroke, touch shots and transition offense. However, there is a difference in the floor scenarios for those franchises. Already with four 25-point games, Scoot Henderson has had no trouble carving up G League defenses with his ridiculous change of direction, burst and off-the-dribble shooting. 31. Washington Wizards: Johnny Davis (Wisconsin, SG, Sophomore), 11. He can still improve on his off-the-dribble creation and execution, but consider that room for growth. Wembanyama seemingly has no weakness in his game. New Orleans Pelicans: Max Christie (Michigan State, SG/SF, Freshman), 42. Mathurin has seemingly locked himself in to the top eight. 35 figures to be available. Boston Celtics: Jaden Hardy (G League Ignite, SG, 2002), 15. Los Angeles Clippers: Jean Montero (Overtime Elite, PG, 2003), 44. Golden State Warriors: Matthew Mayer (Baylor, SF/PF, Senior), 60. 1 team with a skill set and strengths that the NBA values. High school tape, the eye test and his 82.9 percent free-throw clip says he's a better shooter than his current 28.3 three-point mark suggests. 18. 2, unless Amen Thompsons jumper starts heading up with Overtime Elite. Minnesota Timberwolves: Gabriele Procida (Bologna, SF, 2002), 49. Though the Magic are believed to be considering Holmgren and Banchero, Smith remains the favorite. 42. In any other class outside of a generational talent like Wembanyama, Henderson would be the No. Almost every scenario has Banchero available to the Houston Rockets at No. May 24, 2022 2:00 pm CT. Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes proposed two trades that involved the Oklahoma City Thunder in his latest article that lists surprising potential offseason trades for lottery teams. Brooklyn Nets:GG Jackson (South Carolina, PF, Freshman). It's that skinny frame that's the root of scouts' nerves. Charlotte Hornets:JD Davison (Alabama, PG, Freshman). His. The Rockets are believed to be feeling stress-free at No. 13. https://t.co/5WM1WCdmxt, Michael Scotto (@MikeAScotto) February 23, 2023. Following the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery, NBA executives who spoke with HoopsHype said they are monitoring the Sacramento Kings and Portland Trail Blazers as two potential teams that could.

Minnesota Timberwolves:Ousmane Dieng (New Zealand Breakers, SG/SF, 2003), 46. Atlanta Hawks: Caleb Houstan (Michigan, SF, Freshman), 45.

Bleacher Report: Updated 2023 NBA Mock Draft for picks 1-60 Jonathan Wasserman provides his latest projections through 2 rounds after an early look at the potential 2023 class. 22. Ruperts ceiling does appear limited, but the demand for three-and-D wings should keep interest alive throughout the season and draft process. Filipowski was the third-highest ranked recruit in Duke's class but has thus far been the best player not just in his class but on the team. With a 16-assist game on his resume, hes sporting a30.1 assist percentage, a development thats putting him in the conversation with the most complete point guard prospects of the decade.

Hes even made 8-of-17 threes, showing a different level of confidence stepping into longer jumpers. At 68, hes excellent at finishing in the lane, so if the signs of shooting improvement (2.0 3PTM) continue in conference play, Wilson should have a first-round case. Portland Trail Blazers: Shaedon Sharpe (Kentucky, SG, Freshman), 8. 15. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Clippers): Jalen Duren (Memphis, C, Freshman), 13. Orlando Magic (via Pacers): Patrick Baldwin Jr. (Milwaukee, PF, Freshman), 36. 22 and 29, and San Antonio, owners of the ninth, 20th and 25th selections, have all been described as teams to monitor for trade-up scenarios." 2.

TyTy Washington Jr. has made a strong case to NBA teams as a guard who can receive reps as both a lead ball-handler and scoring wing.

He has scheduled workouts with the Pacers, New Orleans Pelicans and Oklahoma City Thunder, while the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets seem like potential suitors based on their need to improve defensively. Between his two-point scoring efficiency and improved playmaking, he's entered the second-round discussion.
