2022 NBA Draft

I was looking at a mock draft yesterday and saw Daniels, Hukporti and Besson mentioned. Another one early in the season only had Dieng.

I was impressed with Daniels in the All Star weekend, Hukporti has really improved, and Besson has impressed all season. Dieng is finally starting to look comfortable. And then there's a wild-card like JLA.

Who do you think is likely to get a call-up on draft day?

JLA cannot be drafted. Will get a contract like Landale or go through summer league to get picked up

You're right about JLA, of course. I should have asked who people think will be the next Aussies / Kiwis or NS into the NBA

In my mock draft I've got Travers going early in the 5th round

One of the reputable mock drafts has him in the 90s from memory, so someone thinks he's worth higher than 5th round.

Travers ain't no nba player.

Height-yes
Athleticism-yes
Everything else below par.

Dyson is a indeed a solid prospect with a high floor, it's just that i'm not entirely sure what his ceiling is though, he reminds me a bit of josh green minus the elite athleticism and the extremely flashy, highlight reel passing but better playmaking ability. Although he, like green is also a bit raw on the offensive end with a limited scoring bag. I expect him to go anywhere between 15-20.

And as for dieng , i rate him much higher than dyson despite what the mock drafts have to say atm . An 18 yr old 6'10 athletic wing who can also handle the ball like a guard...hmm, where have i seen that before.... He could be a proper unicorn prospect if he adds some size. Moreover he's also playing in a far tougher league than dyson. He could very well end up being a lottery pick if he is given a bigger role in the offense.

Dyson is great
But
Wonder what people will think of his lack of shooting ability atm

We have really got a young core that is great but can't shoot

Giddey Exum Daniels Thybulle Simmons

Josh Green is average shooter but a level above the rest.
Landale might be our best shooter at C.

Strange coming from
Mills Delly Broekhoff Ingles to the up and coming stars

I reckon Hukporti is now the most likely to be drafted, followed by Daniels, Besson then Dieng.

All have shown some impressive play during recent games, so I guess it comes down to what position they'd play in the NBA. Dieng seems the weakest in terms of fitting into a set position; Europe would seem a better option for him.

In the latest mock on ESPN

https://www.espn.com.au/nba/insider/story/_/id/33673482/2022-nba-mock-draft-prospects-rise-ncaa-tournament

They've got Daniels at 10
Dieng at 18
Besson at 32

Then undrafted Hukporti at 71 and Travers at 95 prospects.
