2022 NBA Mock Draft — 10. Johnny Davis, Wizards
The Wizards started Raul Neto at point guard last season. The backcourt needs a facelift, whether Bradley Beal stays or not. Johnny Davis would be a sensible pick, supplying them with another talented on-ball scorer who can defend at a high level and elevate the team’s competitive spirit.
2022 NBA Mock Draft — 11. Jalen Duren, Knicks
Mitchell Robinson might leave in free agency, which would leave a rather large hole at center for New York. The Knicks are very traditionally built, and a player with Duren’s measurements (6-foot-11, 7-foot-5 wingspan, 250 pounds) and shot-blocking instincts would no doubt appeal to Tom Thibodeau. He can finish everything at the rim and he could be the best rim protector in the draft.
2022 NBA Mock Draft — 12. Jeremy Sochan, Thunder
OKC continues to prioritize length and athleticism, this time in the form of Jeremy Sochan. The Baylor prospect is a legitimate five-position defend who displays impressive instincts and effort on that side of the ball. On offense, he’s the perfect in-between player — screen-setting, quick decisions, interior finishes. He needs to become a better 3-point shooter, but the early results are promising and OKC has one of the best player development programs in the NBA.
