Detroit Bad Boys

● By Steve Pelletier
Now that the 2022 NCAA Men’s Basketball season has come to a close and conference tournaments are starting up, I wanted to drop my first official NBA Draft Big Board for readers to think ever more about this upcoming draft. While I will not go into full detail about every player, I will try to block off my version of tiers here and comment at the end of each about one or two guys in that specific tier. I will also be doing individual breakdowns for as many of these guys as I can between now and the draft. Also, my tiers are as follows: Game Changers, Solid Role Players with Plus Potential, Have at least ONE skill that can make them an NBA vet, Major Potential, Major Concerns, and Positive Contributor to the Rotation. Game Changers are the top prospects who I believe has all-star or all-NBA level potential in their games. This tier is ranked in order I believe these players should be drafted. All my other tiers I see as fluid—meaning the order is how I personally would draft them, but also could be talked into a different order as all the guys in that tier I see as being on the same talent level.
