CBS Sports unveils latest post-lottery 2022 NBA mock draft

Gary Parrish of CBS Sports released his latest 2022 NBA mock draft after Tuesday’s lottery was made official. The Orlando Magic moved into the No. 1 spot, while the Sacramento Kings shooting up the board into the top four, and the order of the first 14 selections are now set in stone.

To illustrate, the aforementioned No. 1 pick went to the Magic, and Orlando is followed by the Oklahoma City Thunder at No. 2 and Houston Rockets at No. 3. The Kings moved up to No. 4 overall as Sacramento celebrated, while the Detroit Pistons fell out of the top four with the No. 5 pick.

With only one team moving up from their position, the rest of the teams were sorted by their regular season record from worst to best among non-playoff teams.

Unlike prior seasons, there is no consensus No. 1 overall pick this year, but a large group of top-level prospects could have their order determined by team needs more so than any perceived gap in talent. Thus far, Duke’s Paolo Banchero and Gonzaga’s Chet Holmgren have received the most hype entering the draft process, alongside Auburn’s Jabari Smith. Nevertheless, Purdue’s Jaden Ivey has drawn big-time comparisons which have caused his stock to rise, while Kentucky’s Shaedon Sharpe remains an outsider with little film.

Here’s how Gary Parrish of CBS Sports sees the 2022 NBA Draft playing at the moment.
