In the best tradition in the NBA, a few days after the end of the final series that this time met Golden State and Boston, a draft 2022 draft was held tonight (Thursday through Friday) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
As in previous years, this year the commentators of the best league in the world also tried to predict the order of the election but were quite surprised tonight.
Contrary to predictions, Duo College's forward center Paulo Bancro, who is considered tall with very great potential, was selected in the first pick by the Orlando Magic.
Oklahoma City, who won No. 2, went for Chet Holmgren from Gonzaga College and Jabari Smith, who appeared to be the first to be selected by Houston.
Also, Keegan Marie was selected by Sacramento in fourth place and Jayden Ivy joins Detroit in the fifth pick.
No.
