Official 2022 NBA Draft thread

Is there a chance the spurs get a top 3 pick?

Yes. There’s this thing called the lottery draw. Our current odds to jump into the top 4 is about 33%. We’re sitting at #7, and in the three drafts with the new flattened odds, #7 has jumped into the top 4 all three years.

Everyone go by a lottery ticket if you win we will land in the top 4...Book It...........

Lottery ticket odds aren’t 1 in 3.

Chet looking good even bringing the ball up the court under pressure.
Sure, NBA D will be > college.
Just saying the guy has open court dribbling skills too.

Good for Popped getting the record but Tanking would be the short and long term best.

Johnny Davis is a good player but hasn’t played well over the last 5 games.

My favorites if we end up picking at 7 are:

Murray
Griffin
Eason
Mathurin

All have good size and athleticism. Besides Eason the other 3 shoot a bunch of 3s at a good %. Eason can impact the game in a lot of different ways.

youvmean Keegan Murray?

Does anyone know how often Givony from ESPN updates his mocks? The last one was 23rd of Feb, is it two-weekly?

As of right now I have the draft order something like the below, it will obviously depend on which teams are picking where. I think Tier 3 can be fluid depending on draft order. Chet and Jabari seem locks to go 1 and 2. I could see the Thunder or Rocket picking someone like AJ Griffin above Jaden Ivey given they are both set at the guard position.

Tier 1
Chet
Jabari

Tier 2
Banchero
Ivey

Tier 3
AJ Griffin
Keegan Murray
Shaedon Sharpe
Jalen Duren
Johnny Davis
Ben Mathurin

Tier 4
TyTy Washington
Dyson Daniels
Tari Eason
Ochai Agbaji
EJ Liddell
Marjon Beauchamp
Kendall Brown
Nikola Jovic
Jeremy Sochan
Malaki Branham

That's about where I'm at..

Only change is I would have Tari Eason as a Tier 3 player and Walker Kessler as a Tier 4 player

A possibility with our SRP is senior Trevion Williams from Purdue. He has strong Diaw energy, just a wizard with the ball, and a strong rebounder.

That sounds promising. Nice find.

There's an Italian kid, Gabriele Procida, who belongs in Tier 4 (maybe tier 3) as a 3&D type who might be more.

2 out of 7 tries when I did sim lottery on tankathon, Spurs got #1 pick

I’m getting a good hit rate on top 4 picks.

I saw him mentioned in an article on TheStepien. The article was a generic draft piece, and of course featured Chet, but Travion got second billing. The piece was about 2-3 months old.

I like the kid he is super athletic and has a sweet outside shot but he definitely needs to work on his handles and getting stronger. For me I am looking at using Lakers pick on an international player as we have so many first rounds maybe keep them over for another year. My other International players I would not mind are:

Hugo Besson - PG/SG
Matteo Spagnolo PG/SG

Manu Ginobili II?

Italian (yes, I know Manu's officially Argentine), 6'7", skinny, does it all.

If you can get this guy with a 2d round pick it's a home run.

I did it once. Spurs #1

What's that supposed to mean bruh??

(I'm joking, I know he came over from an Italian club, but still funny lmao)

Anything could happen. Tank gor Chet!

Because Ginobili is an Italian (hint: not Spanish) name, bruh.

(We'll skip the discussion of South American history.)

We are at 7th pick but we are probably be picking from 8 to 10 - Portland is tanking hard and I would not be surprised if they do not win a singe game to close out the season. Then you got the Flakers who are going down in a ball of fire at any time they going to shut Lebron down and who knows what New York does. It's going to get interesting teams are really going to be be trying to show who is the Best tanker in the NBA....

[Ignazzz]

Lakers tank and shot down LBJ ( he needs points in Jabar’s race) without pick? No.

[mystargtr34]

I can’t see the Lakers shutting Lebron down while they are in the play in race and AD coming back. They have to feel they can pull off an upset, even though I don’t see it, unless they bring Westbrook off the bench and play AD at the 5.
