With the end of the NBA regular season in the rearview mirror and playoff games underway, CBS Sports released an updated edition of their first-round mock draft. Although most of college basketball’s biggest stars have announced their intentions for the draft, there is still the potential for movement as more decisions trickle in.

The NBA Combine takes place from May 16-22. Prospects have until 10 days after the combine to either keep their name in the draft or remove it and return to school. The 2022 NBA Draft starts on June 23 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The Draft Lottery on May 17 will help clear up where national stars like Chet Holmgren, Jabari Smith and Paolo Banchero are headed next.
