USATSI The full 2022 NBA Draft order is officially set after the lottery's results were revealed Tuesday night in Chicago, lining up the first 14 picks and giving us for the first time a clear picture of the order for all 58 of this year's selections just over one month away from the draft. There's thus far been no consensus about which prospect will go No. 1 -- or 2 or 3 or 4, for that matter -- but Orlando winning the lottery means for now we've projected a frontcourt player in our latest mock for them. In fact, a big man represents picks No. 2 (to OKC) and No. 3 (to Houston) in this post-lottery mock. That's subject to change over the next few weeks as more teams dig into this class and make their final evaluations, but Gonzaga 7-footer Chet Holmgren for now remains the No. 1 projected pick after Tuesday's lottery, followed by Jabari Smith and Paolo Banchero before Jaden Ivey -- our No. 1 prospect -- goes off the board at No. 4 to Sacramento. Will that order change? … [Read more...] about 2022 NBA Mock Draft: Magic can’t pass on Chet Holmgren’s skills and size after winning No. 1 pick in lottery

Kentucky guard Shaedon Sharpe officially declared for the 2022 NBA Draft while maintaining his college eligibility on Thursday afternoon. While this announcement was expected , the journey to this point has made an already difficult evaluation even more difficult for NBA decision makers drafting inside the lottery. To start, NBA decision makers, in large part, have not had the chance to evaluate the former five-star prospect in person. The NBA did allow personnel to attend and evaluate the Nike Peach Jam last July, during which the 6-foot-5 two guard competed for UPlay Canada U17 program. Unfortunately for NBA organizations, Peach Jam fell during the same week as the 2021 NBA Draft. Because of that, very few decision makers were actually in the building and some teams didn't even send scouts to the event in North Augusta, SC as they were all hands on deck in preparation for Draft day. At Peach Jam, Sharpe averaged 22 points per game and was surging up the rankings … [Read more...] about NBA Draft: Kentucky’s Shaedon Sharpe made a challenging evaluation even more difficult

Getty Images Inside the Boston Celtics , a legit championship contender, lives a clumsy, messy, downright dumbfounding team. When the Struggle Celtics come out, they drive into traffic, force bad shots, throw the ball away, bite on pump fakes, commit silly fouls and make the game much more complicated than it needs to be. That version of the Celtics was on display far too often during their 18-21 start, in which their offense ranked 22nd in the NBA . After that, though, and especially after the front office acquired Derrick White at the trade deadline, the Struggle Celtics have shown up only sporadically. For more than four months, Boston has been elite at both ends, and the team is in the Eastern Conference finals because, most of the time, it appears to have broken its bad habits. To borrow a term from his former boss in San Antonio, Celtics coach Ime Udoka always seems to have appropriate fear of the Struggle Celtics making an appearance. Leading up to Game 1 against … [Read more...] about Celtics vs. Heat: How Boston reverted to its worst habits in nightmare third quarter during Game 1 loss

Umran Malik returned with 3/23 from his three overs while Bhuvneshwar proved he is still one of the best death overs bowlers in the business. Chasing 194, Mumbai Indians were off to a solid start as captain Rohit Sharma (48) and Ishan Kishan (43) shared an opening stand of 95 runs. But both the set batters were dismissed in quick succession and MI lost the plot in the middle overs. However, in-form Tim David's blitz brought the five-time champions into the game when he hammered four maximums in the 18th over bowled by T Natarajan but his run out on the final delivery of that over proved fatal for Mumbai. Tim David scored 46 off 18 and once again showcased his big-hitting prowess. But Bhuvneshwar's wicket maiden 19th over, turned the tides for SRH. In the 20th over Fazalhaq Faroozi had 19 runs to defend and he conceded only 16 to help his team emerge winners. Earlier in the day, Sunrisers posted 193/6 after being sent in to bat first. Rahul Tripathi - who slammed his third … [Read more...] about IPL 2022: Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Tripathi, Umran help SRH remain in playoffs hunt
