Finally, the 2022 NBA Draft is nearly upon us. Many of the NBA's lowliest organizations will look on Thursday night (June 23, 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN) to find their next franchise changer, while others scour to add the next valuable piece towards maintaining success. A whopping 247 players tested the NBA Draft waters this year and after months of workouts and interviews, more than 100 players withdrew leaving 131 players in NBA Draft come Thursday. The first 30 selections on Thursday receive guaranteed contracts and so on this Big Board, we rank the Top 30 players remaining. Also this week at 247Sports, my colleague Adam Finkelstein will have a Mock Draft, projecting where he believes the players will actually be selected based on team needs.
