The Warriors' luxury tax situation makes it imperative they find contributors on cheap rookie-scale contracts, something they've proved capable of doing with several shrewd picks. The fact that he proved capable of playing off the ball in two- and three-guard lineups should be attractive as well. The 6'9 Congolese center is posting historic rebounding numbers, anchoring a stout Kentucky defense and showing signs of a much improved offensive game. Banchero could start next to a physical big man like Isaiah Stewart and then slide to the 5 and operate alongside another perimeter-oriented forward like Jerami Grant or Saddiq Bey, making him a strong fit for the Pistons long-term. Morocco see off Ronaldo, Portugal; Kane heartbreak as England fall to France. Sochan brings some different dimensions for a team that could be attracted to his ability to defend all over the floor, pass the ball effectively and slide up or down positions depending on the matchup.

ESPN NBA draft expert Jonathan Givony provides his latest mock and observations off the first month of the college basketball season. WebESPN's NBA draft experts Jonathan Givony and Mike Schmitz are tasked with keeping it all straight. The Pelicans really struggled to space the floor effectively at times this past season, ranking among the worst 3-point shooting teams in the NBA in both makes and accuracy. His lack of ballhandling and a slow release on his jumper lowers his ceiling somewhat, but Braun is exactly the type of role-playing, two-way wing many NBA teams are actively seeking these days. Kennedy Chandler | Tennessee | 6-1 | PG | Age: 19.5, Blake Wesley | Notre Dame | 6-5 | SG | Age: 19.0, MarJon Beauchamp | G League Ignite | 6-6 | SG/SF | Age: 21.4, E.J. -- Schmitz, Complete scouting report from Mike Schmitz (No. As the 2022 NFL season hits the stretch run and college football turns its attention to bowls and the College Football Playoff, intrigue will start to grow around a Not scoring a bucket over the last 7:37 is also something naysayers will point to. The Kings have said they want to return to playoff contention as soon as possible, and picking an almost 22-year-old All-American certainly will help with that. Timberwolves-Clippers, 10 p.m. Warriors-76ers, 7:30 p.m. Some huge possessions showing length on pullups and using verticality at the rim to force difficult shots. Chandler may not pass the eye test given his stature, but he has a relatively high floor thanks to his speed, handle, feel for the game, shooting and winning pedigree. G League Ignite Paolo Banchero 4. Smith immediately makes the Magic more competitive on both ends of the floor while brightening their long-term outlook. In this scenario, the Spurs drafted backcourt players in the lottery and with the 20th pick, so adding a combo forward in the late first round could make sense, especially since Brown is among the most explosive players in the draft and brings significant upside to grow into at just 18 years old. Givony's latest mock, which reflects a long period of exhaustive evaluation of the 2022 draft class and considers intel gathered from conversations with scouts and front-office personnel, also accounts for picks owed and owned by all 30 teams. Braun looks like a plug-and-play wing who brings lockdown defense, passing ability, excellent rebounding and is a career 38% 3-point shooter in college. ESPN draft experts Jonathan Givony and Mike Schmitz have spent the season evaluating all of the prospects who might be selected at the draft, talking to NBA team executives and scouts, and considering the likeliest paths for players and teams. Sharpe is oozing with talent, possessing elite physical tools with his exceptional frame, length and explosiveness, to go along with dynamic perimeter shooting ability. And this performance was far more than simply getting hot from 3 or overpowering smaller opponents to the rim, which he did plenty of. The Hornets have been seeking a legitimate rim-protecting, lob-catching center to pair with LaMelo Ball from the moment they drafted the pick-and-roll maestro, and could very well be attracted to Williams, with whom they'll be very familiar from down the road in Durham. Kentucky fights off Yale: 3 things to know and postgame banter. The fact that he can pull up off the dribble from deep vantage points makes him difficult to plan for, especially with the way he can find teammates on the move using both sides of the floor, as well as score inside the arc in a variety of ways. Few teams have been as successful drafting in the first round as the Heat have over the past few years. With Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. back in the fold next season alongside MVP Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon, adding quality depth on the wing looks like a priority for the Nuggets, who cycled through different options all season at this position. Daniels is an outstanding defender who fills up the box score with rebounds, assists, blocks and steals, and has plenty of upside to grow into considering he just turned 19 years old. Adding a versatile guard who can play in a variety of lineup configurations and do a little bit of everything could be attractive here, especially considering the type of players Gregg Popovich typically values. Drafting another guard who is best with the ball in his hands wouldn't be the most natural fit on paper, but Ivey's talent and star power could be too tantalizing to pass up.

Is he a knockdown enough of a shooter to play a Desmond Bane-type of role as a spot shooter and occasional secondary ball handler? -- Givony, The Spurs aren't short on young perimeter players, but none have the same level of burst and shift as Chandler, who could eventually evolve into a change-of-pace backup to franchise lead guard Dejounte Murray. By Ricky O'Donnell July 30, 2021. Williams never got in a true rhythm during his 16 minutes, finishing with eight points, four rebounds and zero blocks -- it was only the second time all season that Williams didn't record at least one block. 14 also learned their fates.

Even with Atlanta's postseason struggles, Young (23), Kevin Huerter (23), De'Andre Hunter (24), John Collins (24) and Onyeka Okongwu (21) is a strong under-25 core that Branham would only bolster. -- Givony, With the Trail Blazers clearing the books and going younger and more development-focused at the moment, 18-year-old Sharpe makes a lot of sense here. Washington was forced to settle for difficult pull-up jumpers with the shot clock running down, and couldn't turn the corner with much success either, being swallowed up inside the paint by Duke's NBA-caliber size and length. One of the youngest players in the country, Griffin has been feast or famine all season, either catching fire from beyond the arc and splashing tough step-back 3s or showing his youth and inexperience with inconsistent decision making on both ends. -- Schmitz, Patrick Baldwin Jr. | Milwaukee | SF/PF | Age: 19.4, Hugo Besson | NZ Breakers | PG/SG | Age: 20.9, David Roddy | Colorado St | PF | Age: 21.0, Wendell Moore Jr. | Duke | SF | Age: 20.5, Christian Koloko | Arizona | C | Age: 21.8, Terquavion Smith | NC State | SG | Age: 19.3, Leonard Miller | Fort Erie International Academy | SF/PF | Age: 18.4, Khalifa Diop | Gran Canaria | C | Age: 20.2, Justin Lewis | Marquette | SF/PF | Age: 20.0, Jake LaRavia | Wake Forest | PF | Age: 20.4, Max Christie | Michigan State | SG | Age: 19.1, Dalen Terry | Arizona | PG/SG | Age: 19.7, Jaylin Williams | Arkansas | C | Age: 19.8, Yannick Nzosa | Unicaja Malaga | C | Age: 18.4, Trevion Williams | Purdue | C | Age: 21.5, Andrew Nembhard | Gonzaga | PG | Age: 22.2, Jalen Williams | Santa Clara | SF | Age: 21.0, Matteo Spagnolo | Cremona | PG | Age: 19.2, Gabriele Procida | Fortitudo Bologna | SG | Age: 19.8, Harrison Ingram | Stanford | SF/PF | Age: 19.4, Alondes Williams | Wake Forest | PG/SG | Age: 22.8, Michael Foster | G League Ignite | PF | Age: 19.2, Dominick Barlow | Overtime Elite | PF/C | Age: 18.9.

The Rockets are early in their rebuilding and will likely be looking to take swings on talent and upside, as they don't appear to be particularly close to contention. Knicks-Bulls, 7:30 p.m. -- Mike Schmitz. One of the younger freshmen in the class, not turning 19 until late August, Griffin might be a prime candidate to consider the virtues of a sophomore season, especially with NIL agreements now providing an opportunity to make money while in college. Branham's frame, length, scoring instincts and shot-making prowess off the dribble (44%) and with his feet set (43%) make his game look seamlessly translatable for what the NBA is looking for at his position. Banchero can potentially even play as a big 3 at times given his defensive foot speed, ballhandling and shooting potential, especially as he adds the corner 3 to his repertoire. Jaden Hardy | G League Ignite | SG | Age: 19.3, Caleb Houstan | Michigan | SF | Age: 18.8, Patrick Baldwin Jr. | Milwaukee | SF/PF | Age: 18.9, Jean Montero | Overtime Elite | PG/SG | Age: 18.3, TyTy Washington Jr. | Kentucky | PG/SG | Age: 19.9, Ousmane Dieng | NZ Breakers | SF/PF | Age: 18.4, Yannick Nzosa | Unicaja Malaga | C | Age: 17.9, Dyson Daniels | G League Ignite | PG/SG | Age: 18.6, Max Christie | Michigan State | SG | Age: 18.7, Kennedy Chandler | Tennessee | PG | Age: 19.1, Bryce McGowens | Nebraska | SG | Age: 19.0, Roko Prkacin | Cibona Zagreb | PF | Age: 18.9, Khalifa Diop | Gran Canaria | C | Age: 19.8, 25.

WebAll of those players find their way into ESPN's latest NBA mock draft. Copyright 2022 ESPN Internet Ventures. -- Givony, The Bucks are in the midst of a championship window, making a mature, NBA-ready prospect like the 21-year-old Liddell incredibly appealing if available. Ivey's size, frame and length, along with the strides he has made as a shooter, will allow him to slide into a variety of lineup configurations, making it easy for him to find his way onto the floor, especially as his defense and decision-making improve. PG/SG Williams led college basketball in dunks this season, won ACC defensive player of the year honors and made considerable progress in his sophomore season. 1-ranked player in his high school class, but his lack of experience and how little he has been evaluated might make it difficult for a team picking higher than this to roll the dice on him. The Magic are loaded with young talent on the perimeter and could very well look to the frontcourt, where much of this draft's high-end talent is concentrated. At 6-5, 225 pounds with a 6-6 wingspan, Keels' closest physical comparisons range from Dillon Brooks to Sterling Brown to Bane to Lu Dort. -- Givony, Complete scouting report from Jonathan Givony (No. Enter Davis, who brings many of the winning intangibles the Wizards should be looking for with his defensive versatility, unselfishness and ability to score with or without the ball. 2 through No. *The Bucks forfeited their 2022 second-round pick for violating rules governing the timing of free-agency discussions. Jabari Smith and Paolo Banchero would also be extremely attractive here and will likely be in play at No. Should Yat get back to full strength following his shin injury, given his draft eligibility and the fact that he plays a position every NBA team is searching for, executives will surely be gathering as much information on the 18-year-old as possible between now and the 2022 NBA draft. He even drew two free throws on a midpost sweep-through move that would make James Harden proud. SF/PF Duke holds off late Kentucky run to win season opener (1:44). Get expert analysis from previous drafts here. Banchero's ability to create offense off the dribble both for himself and teammates should pair well with the explosive transition scoring and shot-making ability Green offers. Duke freshman Paolo Banchero was the only projected top-3 draft pick that competed in the Final Four last weekend, finishing with 20 points and 10 rebounds in what was likely his last game as a Blue Devil. Williams was unable to settle in and have his usual two-way impact as he picked up his second foul that forced him to sit the final 15 minutes of the first half. The Bulls aren't particularly deep in the frontcourt, making this a potential position of need the team will look to address this offseason. 2022 NBA mock draft: Projecting all 58 picks after the NBA draft lottery, Ronaldo sends mixed message on Portugal future, Silas, 3-time NBA champ and coach, dies at 79, Booker (hamstring) scratched as Suns lose in OT, Morocco: We're the World Cup's Rocky Balboa, Huntley hurt as Ravens again lose a starting QB, Steelers' Pickett put in concussion protocol in loss, Warriors relish 'important win' vs. NBA-best Celts, Strydom wins Alfred Dunhill for 1st Euro title, FIFA charges Argentina for disorder during QF, Inside the Ukraine national soccer team's heroic fight to carry on, World Cup semifinals preview: What to know about each team, predictions, schedule and more. -- Mike Schmitz. A talented passer, turning that vision into a consistent weapon is also on the priority list. Williams was again forced to the bench in the second half as he collected his fourth foul with just over 10 minutes remaining. The fact that he's already 22 may make him even more attractive to the Hornets, who are clearly looking for immediate results after surprisingly firing head coach James Borrego. Keels also showed his toughness and energy with several strong rebounds and defensive plays on and off the ball chasing North Carolina's guards around the perimeter. Smith's incredibly high floor combined with his age, trajectory at just 18 years old and ability to shoot over the top of virtually any defender from all over the floor makes him as strong a candidate as any to hear his name called first overall. -- Jonathan Givony. The 18-year old guard, projected first round pick, brings tremendous toughness and two-way versatility. (1:44). Keeping defenses honest from loading up on Luka Doncic will always be a priority, something Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie have both done very effectively this season. -- Schmitz, Who is No. Teams beyond those in the lottery have established their draft positions ahead of the 2022 NBA draft on June 23rd. Skip to main content Skip The Bucks are in win-now mode and would be well-served adding a player who can step in and contribute immediately, as they don't have a great deal of flexibility with their salary-cap situation. His 7-foot wingspan gives him significant potential defensively, and he plays one of the most coveted positions in the modern NBA. He still runs into screens too often, doesn't mix it up on the defensive like he could, and has his lapses off the ball defensively. ESPN releases updated NBA mock draft following opening weekend of NCAA Tournament. What Barlow lacks in pure size (6-foot-9) or strength (214 pounds) he makes up for with an impressive combination of fluidity, explosiveness, smarts and budding skill. On top of the sheer physicality and effort, Keels has a tremendous feel for the game that shined bright as he made a host of NBA-level passes while operating at lead guard. Never were Love's struggles as a finisher and decision-maker and with his shot-selection more evident than in the national championship game, where he had the worst game of his college career, going 4-for-16 for 2 and 1-for-8 for 3 with four turnovers and two assists. Daniels is an outstanding defender who fills up the box score with rebounds, assists, blocks and steals, and has plenty of upside to grow into considering he just turned 19 years old. Portland Trail Blazers (from Grizzlies), Alondes Williams | Wake Forest | 6-5 | PG/SG | Age: 22.7, Michael Foster | G League Ignite | 6-9 | PF | Age: 19.2, Dominick Barlow | Overtime Elite | 6-9 | PF/C | Age: 18.8. PG/SG ESPN NBA draft expert Jonathan Givony provides his latest mock and observations off the first month of the Age: 21.5, With Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. back in the fold next season alongside MVP Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon, adding quality depth on the wing looks like a priority for the Nuggets, who cycled through different options all season at this position. Finding more confidence and consistency in his jump shot, which Brown could very well locate in the Spurs' vaunted player development program, and discipline defensively -- a trademark of Gregg Popovich teams -- would make him a major steal at this stage of the draft. With another year on his contract at OTE, it's not hard to envision him finding a niche at the pro level in the summer of 2023 with the many things he brings to the floor, and it would not be surprising to see him develop into a NBA player down the road if he continues to improve. The Knicks had a difficult season offensively, ranking last in 2-point percentage and second to last in assist rate. Projected lottery pick Ochai Agbaji starts the Final Four scorching hot, hitting four 3-pointers in his first 8 minutes of action showing his picture perfect stroke both off the dribble and with his feet. Jaden Ivey 5. Banchero scoring 20 points on 17 shots against a below average defender in Manek isn't going to convince NBA teams that he should be the No. He can stand to speed up his release and is on the streaky side, but he has sound mechanics with his feet set, and has even shown the ability to make shots off the bounce in spurts. The Kings will take long looks at both Jaden Ivey, who could create a dynamic backcourt with De'Aaron Fox, or Murray, arguably the best player in college basketball this past season. He employed quick crossover spin moves to the rim with incredible balance and footwork before drawing fouls. There was a reason he was the No. With Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. back in the fold next season alongside MVP Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon, adding quality depth on the wing looks like a priority for the Nuggets, who cycled through different options all season at this position. The Thunder don't have much in the way of long-term building blocks in the frontcourt and will be thrilled to see Holmgren, arguably the most talented prospect in the draft, available here.

Barlow has yet to make a 3-pointer in six games but is shooting 82% from the free throw line and has made a number of difficult pull-up jumpers inside the arc, indicating plenty of room for growth in this area. Keels emerged as a true hunter of sorts, making a clear effort to take Washington out of the game completely with his motor, physicality and technique. Beauchamp's ability to defend multiple positions, score without having plays called for him and do the dirty work to help a team win games could be attractive, as well as the fact that he's already 21 years old and has pro experience under his belt. At 6-2, 172 pounds his margin for error is slim, meaning he'll have to improve as a defender and finisher to carve out a consistent role in the NBA. When Yat's catch-and-shoot jumper is falling, it's easy to see him as a draftable prospect who could eventually carve out a 3-and-D role with more experience and seasoning. The team seems to prioritize finding young players who fit their mentality culturally and have room to grow in their strong player development infrastructure. With Ingram, McCollum and potentially Williamson as the primary shot creators, adding another off-ball threat who doesn't need offensive volume to add value makes sense for the surging Pelicans. The Pistons struck gold in potential rookie of the year Cade Cunningham last year and can now look to add another dynamic frontcourt player who can help shoulder offensive responsibility. Chet Holmgren 3. Ivey also has experience playing in multiguard lineups, and the fact that he's improved greatly as a spot-up shooter (36% from 3) would allow him to play alongside SGA and Giddey while buying him time to sharpen the lead-guard acumen he'll need to maximize his sky-high upside. Skip to navigation.

Sochan brings some different dimensions the team could be attracted to his ability to defend all over the floor, pass the ball effectively and slide up or down positions depending on the matchup.

Terms at draftkings.com/sportsbook. Daniels, who ranked first or second on the Ignite in rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, has as high of a floor as any prospect projected outside the top five. Trevor Keels somehow gets the and-1 to fall. There's still a lot to like about Griffin. Agbaji fits the bill as he's an impressive open-court athlete, can space the floor out of spot-ups and serve as a weapon via off-ball screens and handoffs while possessing the tools to defend up to three positions when at his best. But for the teams that were already concerned about Banchero's defensive impact -- preferring the two-way play of Jabari Smith and Chet Holmgren -- Saturday's heartbreaking loss to UNC likely didn't help change their mind. With that in mind, ESPN draft expert Jonathan Givony considered the draft board and the likely players available at each spot, updating the ESPN 2022 NBA mock draft accordingly. Ivey is the most electric prospect in the class, possessing the type of extra gear-changing speeds in the open floor that few NBA players possess.

Mike Schmitz is an NBA Draft expert and a contributor to DraftExpress.com, a private scouting and analytics service utilized by NBA, NCAA and International teams. He can create space with step-backs going to his left, and isn't short on confidence from beyond the arc. The 2022 NCAA tournament concluded on Monday as Kansas rallied past North Carolina to capture its fourth men's basketball championship. Proving he can stay on the court against small-ball-oriented teams this season will go a long way in determining whether Williams can be more than a backup at the NBA level. Givony's updated mock draft is below along, along with recent observations on Duke's prospects (Banchero, AJ Griffin, Mark Williams, Trevor Keels), NCAA tournament Most Outstanding Player Ochai Agbaji and North Carolina guard Caleb Love. How will his power-based downhill attacks translate against rangier defenders? If this was the final game of Keels' career, he went out in style. Although he still has a ways to go defensively, the 18-year-old Griffin is one of the best spot-shooters in the draft (45% from 3), with underrated ball skills and the strength (225 pounds) and length (7-0 wingspan) to develop into a sound defender as he improves his technique and awareness. The potential destinations of the big three -- Gonzaga center Chet Holmgren, Auburn power forward Jabari Smith and Duke forward Paolo Banchero -- will be among the top storylines, and how the dominoes fall later in the lottery and the first round will be an all-consuming question. A fluid wing with ample size to slide to the power forward position as his frame fills out, Dieng hit his stride in a major way as the season moved on in the Australian NBL, flashing dynamic shot-making ability, vision operating out of pick-and-roll, and the ability to guard multiple positions. pic.twitter.com/03CwfwMlWt. Also brought toughness with 12 rebounds. Whether it's as a Nicolas Batum type, Kyle Anderson or some leaner version of Boris Diaw, there's a clear pathway and role for Dieng in the NBA. Age: 18.8, Montero is one of the most skilled guards in the draft with deep range on his pull-up 3, impressive pace in pick-and-roll and the ability to pass off the dribble with either hand. Dyson Daniels Every time Duke needed someone to make a play, Keels looked happy to step up, never looking afraid of the moment. He was a key cog in Kansas' half-court offense, as their designated post-entry passer and regularly creating open shots for teammates by attacking closeouts with his head up looking to collapse the defense and kick out to the perimeter, posting 22 assists in six NCAA tournament games. What will Keels decide to do next? Even in the limited action he saw, it was obvious that the game moves too fast for Griffin at this stage, as he was out of position constantly, having no idea where to be seemingly on both ends of the floor and making several spacing and timing mistakes that could have proven costly. It's hard to complain about his contest against Caleb Love in what proved to be a back-breaking pull-up 3 for the Blue Devils. Although comfortable playing pick-and-roll and functioning as a lead guard for stretches, Daniels doesn't need the ball in his hands to be effective, as he's a smart cutter, active rebounder, improved spot-shooter and quick-decision passer who also defends multiple positions on the other end. Still, he's only 20 years old, offers a great deal of competitiveness and winning traits and should have a tailor-made role in the NBA if he can find more consistency and confidence in his outside shot. As the NBA playoffs continue and we draw ever closer to the NBA draft lottery in Chicago on May 17, matching players with prospective teams has become something more than a theoretical exercise. This pick won't solve all their issues, but adding an All-American wing like Mathurin, who is an outstanding perimeter shooter and looks ready to contribute immediately, could make sense, as he can play either wing spot alongside RJ Barrett and has plenty of upside to grow into at just 19 years old. Improving his body and finding more consistency as a perimeter shooter are priorities for Keels moving forward, something he could elect to try to do with another year in college, potentially. Although greatly improved, his defensive toughness comes and goes. 18 in Top 100). In Holmgren, the Thunder can acquire the draft's biggest difference-maker defensively, a force on the glass and a rim protector who also shot 39% from beyond the arc and brings significant upside as a passer, finisher and shot creator. On the offensive end, Banchero showed flashes of brilliance. -- Givony, The Auburn star forward would give a Magic team that ranked 28th in the NBA in 3-point percentage a season ago one of the best shooters in the draft (43% from 3) at 6-foot-10 with the type of defensive versatility Orlando generally covets. McGowens is one of the most talented wing prospects in this class long-term, a fluid scorer who needs time to build up his frame and improve his defensive intensity, but he has intriguing tools that are hard to come by from a talent perspective. New scouting report on Oscar Tshiebwe on ESPN today. 8 in Top 100), Jalen Duren | Memphis | 6-10 | C | Age: 18.3, Dyson Daniels | G League Ignite | 6-6 | PG/SG | Age: 19.0, 11.
