Fadeaway World

The 2022 NBA Draft Lottery is finally in the books and we now know the order teams will be drafting in when the Draft takes place in June. The Orlando Magic got the No. 1 overall pick, the fourth time in their franchise history with the first pick. The Oklahoma City Thunder and the Houston Rockets complete out the top three, as Sacramento and Detroit took picks 4 and 5. But the big question for the lottery teams heading into June will be who exactly their teams pick. It's a little hard to navigate the picks, considering a player could suddenly jump up the order or see their draft value erode by the time everyone is ready to start making picks. Despite that, there is officially an order people can rely on to try and make their draft boards ahead of June. That includes us, as we look at how the 14 lottery picks will be used in the 2022 NBA Draft.
