2022 NBA Mock Draft 2.0: Who will the Toronto Raptors take?
By Mike Luciano
Davis went from being a quality bench player to an indispensable scorer and shooter that puts up 20 points per game every night. While not an amazing athlete, Davis has that combination of scoring off the dribble and off-ball wizardry that would make him an ideal bench gunner in Memphis.
A 6-6 combo guard who can rebound, handle the ball, and play tough defense? Sounds like a potential lottery pick to me. The Australian playmaker would be a welcome sight in Washington, as the lack of high-ceiling guard depth behind Spencer Dinwiddie is handicapping this team.
Moore is finally starting to earn more playing time at Duke, in large part due to his improved jumper and willingness to create in isolation situations. The Thunder gambled on Tre Mann in this range last year, and they could make their bench even stronger by cashing in on Moore’s breakout season.
Prkacin decided to declare in 2022 instead of last year with the aim of improving his stock. New York might be intrigued enough to add him to the bench after some of the improvements he’s made. Still a quality interior finisher and athlete for his size, Prkacin has a bright future in this league.
While Hardy came into the G League with more hype than any other prospect, Beauchamp has been the most consistent. Beauchamp is second on the team in rebounding and scoring, which could help him be both a Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. backup in Denver.
NBA Mock Draft: Trevor Keels would beef up the 76ers bench.
Keels is built like a physical wide receiver, and he profiles as someone that could give Philly a nice punch of interior scoring. If he works on becoming a more consistent shooter, he could replace someone like Danny Green and earn a place of prominence in the rotation.
Agbaji has played exactly 33 minutes each of his last three seasons with the Jayhawks, but his newfound aggression and 3-point shot have helped make him a legit NBA prospect. The Cavaliers need shooting and more young guards off of the bench, and Agbaji fits the bill.
