Jabari Smith remains the betting-market favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft — and he might actually become the first pick. We'll see later this month. But there's still been no definitive reporting that states Orlando is 100% settled on the former Auburn star. So I'm keeping Gonzaga's Chet Holmgren at the top of this mock draft (for now) based on the idea that I genuinely believe he should be — not necessarily that he will be, but that he should be — the first player off the board. I just believe in his upside. Is the body a concern? Sure, I guess.
