Detroit Bad Boys

● By Steve Pelletier
Now that we know the Pistons will be selecting fifth overall and we have a list of early entrants (many of whom are going through the combine as I write this), it’s time to revisit the Big Board. There are a few additions to this most recent version, as guys like Caleb Love and Jaime Jacquez Jr. opted to return to school. There are still quite a few guys in this draft process that are testing the waters while maintaining their eligibility to return to school. All of these players will have until June 1, 2022 to decide whether they will remain in the 2022 NBA Draft or if they will return to school. After the June 1, 2022 Withdrawal Deadline, I will post my Final Big Board, since we will have the set list of who is going to go pro next season. For now, though, let’s get to the board as it stands today!
