Who would have been a top-10 pick if we drafted a year ago?
Who won the NBA draft in the second round?
- Kyle Irving
- San Antonio Spurs. Grade: A+ Picks: Victor Wembanyama (#1), Sidy Cissoko (#44) The Spurs won the NBA Draft the second they landed the No. 1 pick in the lottery.
- Portland Trail Blazers. Grade: A+ Picks: Scoot Henderson (#3), Kris Murray (#23), Rayan Rupert (#43) The Trail Blazers landed the second-best player in the draft with the No. 3 pick.
- Houston Rockets. Grade: A+ Picks: Amen Thompson (#4), Cam Whitmore (#20) The Rockets, themselves, probably can't even believe what they came away with on draft night.
- Dallas Mavericks. Grade: A+ Picks: Dereck Lively II (#12), Olivier Maxence-Prosper (#24) The Mavericks absolutely nailed the 2023 NBA Draft. Dallas traded down to No. 12 and shed Davis Bertans' contract while still landing the prospect it wanted in Lively.
- Houston Rockets (A+) Jabari Smith (3rd), Tari Eason (17th), TyTy Washington (29th) So what if Banchero — the presumed target for weeks — got taken? Smith dropping to them could be huge.
- Oklahoma City Thunder (A+) Chet Holmgren (2nd), Ousmane Dieng (11th), Jalen Williams (12th), Jaylin Williams (34th) Whew, what a haul! As long as Holmgren lives up to the pick — and I think he will!
- Detroit Pistons (A+) Jaden Ivey (5th), Jalen Duren (13th), Gabriele Procida (36th) This grade is also about how they didn’t deal Ivey. He and Cade Cunningham are going to be an amazing duo for years to come.
- Sacramento Kings (A) Keegan Murray (4th) Murray over Jaden Ivey is one of those picks will be talked about in a few years, but I totally dig going in this direction.
- Atlanta Hawks
- Boston Celtics
- Brooklyn Nets
- Charlotte Hornets
- Chicago Bulls

Drafted: G/F AJ Griffin (Pick #16), G/F Tyrese Martin (Pick #51) Trades: Traded rights to Ryan Rollins (Pick #44) to Golden State Warriors for rights to Tyrese Martin (Pick #51) and $2M in cash considerations While there was talk throughout the night amongst teams about John Collins possibly being on the move, the Atlanta Hawks did a complete-180 f...
Drafted: G JD Davison (Pick #54) Trades: NONE As many expected, the Boston Celtics were very quiet in the 2022 NBA Draft, as they only had one lone second-round pick at No. 54 overall to utilize, which they used on Alabama’s JD Davison. Earlier in the draft, the Celtics did make some calls to other teams picking near the end of the first-round to t...
Drafted: NONE Trades: NONE Wait, do you hear that? Those are crickets coming from the Brooklyn Nets draft room and front-office. Quite honestly, I do not even think the Nets were in their own building on draft night because they had no reason to be seeing as all of their draft picks over the next decade are in Houston! Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving...
Drafted: C Mark Williams (Pick #15), G Bryce McGowens (Pick #40) Trades: (1) Traded rights to Jalen Duren (Pick #13) to Detroit Pistons via New York Knicks in exchange for DEN 2023 1st Round Pick (Top-14 Protected), NYK 2023 2nd Round Pick, UTA 2023 2nd Round Pick (via NYK), DAL/MIA 2023 2nd Round Pick (More Favorable, via NYK) and NYK 2024 2nd Rou...
Drafted: G Dalen Terry (Pick #18) Trades: NONE Other than using their only first-round pick on Dalen Terry at No. 18 overall, the Chicago Bulls ended up being very quiet on draft night, which was expected. Addressing a need out on the perimeter was essential for the Bulls and they ended up with one of the better high-potential guards in this draft ...
How did each team perform in the 2022 NBA Draft? Find out the grades, trades and analysis for every pick and non-pick in this article. See who got an A, who got an F and who got an I for their draft night moves.
- San Antonio Spurs (A+) Victor Wembanyama (1), Sidy Cissoko (44) What do you want me to say? How can I give anything but the top grade to the team that gets a player who has the most hype of any prospect in years?
- Portland Trail Blazers (A+) Scoot Henderson (3), Kris Murray (23), Rayan Rupert (43) It was REALLY hard not to put them at No. 1. Scoot fell in their laps, Murray oozes so much upside, as does Rupert.
- Houston Rockets (A+) Amen Thompson (4), Cam Whitmore (20) Not only do they get the more talented Thompson twin, but they took Whitmore, a top-10 talent who dropped due to various pre-draft concerns.
- Charlotte Hornets (A) Brandon Miller (2), Nick Smith Jr. (27), James Nnaji (31), Amari Bailey (41) Could the franchise regret taking fit over upside with Miller over Scoot Henderson?
- Orlando Magic: PF Paolo Banchero, Duke. Even though I would have taken Chet Holmgren, I can't say it's wrong to take Banchero. I think he's going to be the most impactful player right from the jump and the favorite to win Rookie of the Year.
- Oklahoma City Thunder: C Chet Holmgren, Gonzaga. The concerns about Holmgren's slight frame are legitimate -- but he's such a unique prospect with incredible potential that he's the right pick here.
- Houston Rockets: PF Jabari Smith, Auburn. For much of the draft process, Smith was assumed to be the No. 1 overall pick. And in a class with three high-level big men prospects, Smith became an easy pick when he slipped to third overall.
- Sacramento Kings: PF Keegan Murray, Iowa. I like Murray, but it's not what I would have done. I would have taken Jaden Ivey. But he made it crystal clear he didn't want to be there.
