We're finally here, folks: the 2022 NBA Draft will be happening this Thursday, and we're at our final mock draft of the season. Draft rumors have been flying around for the past several weeks now and smokescreen season is in full effect, so before this Thursday's draft, we want to take one last shot at breaking down some of the best candidates for each pick. Mock drafts are often either based on who the writer thinks should go to each team or who the writer predicts each team to select. This mock draft can be thought of as somehwere in the middle of that spectrum. For each selection, I've taken recent rumors into account, who I believe to be the best players available at each pick, and team fit/circumstances.
