The 2022 NBA Draft will be here before we know it. It is scheduled to take place on Thursday, June 23, in Brooklyn.
When the first round begins, it shouldn’t take long for the first SEC player to come off the board. And, several SEC standouts should hear their names called in the first 30 picks.
As you can see below, Yahoo’s Krysten Peek updated her Round 1 mock draft recently, and she has 6 SEC stars going in the round:
- No. 1 — Jabari Smith Jr., F, Auburn — Orlando Magic
- No. 5 — Shaedon Sharpe, G, Kentucky — Detroit Pistons
- No. 14 — Tari Eason, F, LSU — Cleveland Cavaliers
- No. 17 — TyTy Washington, G, Kentucky — Houston Rockets
- No. 20 — Kennedy Chandler, G, Tennessee — San Antonio Spurs
- No. 28 — Walker Kessler, C, Auburn — Golden State Warriors
