With the Golden State Warriors bringing home their fourth NBA championship since 2015, its apparent that shooting is as paramount as it’s ever been in the league.
The 2022 NBA Draft takes place this Thursday, June 23. The Orlando Magic will get things rolling with the No.1 overall selection. They’ll be followed by the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Houston Rockets.
A trio of capable shooting big men, all 6’10” or higher, is expected to go off the board early in Auburn’s Jabari Smith Jr., Gonzaga’s Chet Holmgren, and Duke’s Paolo Banchero. While accurate and capable from range, that doesn’t mean they are three of the best pure shooters in the draft.
