NBA Draft Profile - #5 Pick Jaden Ivey is Headed to Motor City

In a three player draft, it might be the fourth selection that offers the highest ceiling.

Purdue guard Jaden Ivey has been taken 5th in the 2022 draft by the Detroit Pistons.

Jaden Ivey, the 6’4” guard from Purdue University, is the best athlete in the draft, a whiz of blur-inducing burst and high flying acrobatics at the rim. He’s the first guard taken off the board in a draft full of near seven foot tall talented wings and bigs.

Ivey’s a ball dominant, multi-level scoring threat that’s thundering dunks almost pale in comparison to his acrobatics with both hands around the rim.
