Jabari Smith Jr., Jaden Ivey, Paolo Banchero and Chet Holmgren lead JeremyWoo’s list of top prospects in the 2022 NBA draft class
Murray may follow his ascent to the shortlist of college basketball’s top players as one of the NBA’s most productive rookies next season, with a mature, polished game befitting his age. He’ll likely be the oldest player drafted in the lottery, but his skills feel pretty translatable to the point where teams aren’t too concerned. Murray plays with energy and smarts and can impact the game without needing his number called by crashing the glass, knocking down shots and staying active.
Mathurin put himself in the lottery conversation with a breakout sophomore season that had some impressive peaks and occasionally frustrating lows. He projects as a quality two-guard, with elite run-jump athleticism and enough shooting ability to plug and play early. He’s hard to stop in transition and proved he could take over games on a number of occasions this season, although he can be pretty streaky.
Keels declared for the draft and left open the possibility of a return to Duke, making him one of the more prominent players still on the fence at this stage. He was highly inconsistent as a scorer, but showed enough as a freshman to draw first-round interest: he’s a capable shooter with a big frame and the skills to play either guard spot. He may need to slim down a bit more to maximize his ability in the long run.
