While it is not in the near future, the 2022 NBA Draft is a great point of emphasis for many NBA teams. It’s why we’re unveiling our way-too-early 2022 mock draft. Teams like the Detroit Pistons or the Houston Rockets will look to the draft for major additions to their young cores. On the other hand, a team like the Thunder, which invested a lot of time and effort in the past to get assets, will look to the draft to stockpile talent and find a diamond in the rough. Overall, it can be a turning point for many franchises, and this season’s draft class is truly great. Time to look at the talent! The team standings here are based on NBADraft.net and on their projections on where these teams will finish in the final NBA standings.
