Believe it or not, the 2022 NBA Draft is one month away! The 2022 NBA Draft Combine took place in Chicago last week and now heading towards the June 1 draft withdrawal deadline, a better picture is being painted for what teams are going to be looking for in the draft. Jabari Smith Jr., Chet Holmgren, Paolo Banchero and Jaden Ivey are heavily regarded as the best prospects this year, but there is a ton of talent and untapped potential up-and-down this draft class. Whether you are the first overall pick, the last pick or go undrafted, there are opportunities to be had in the NBA and we will see plenty of rookies from this draft class make a difference during the 2022-23 NBA season. With the NBA Combine over and teams getting better evaluations as to who all of this year’s prospects are as players, here is the Top-50 of my 2022 NBA Draft Big Board 2.0:
