Raptor Rapture

After months of speculation and intrigue, the 2022 NBA Draft is finally upon us. While fringe contenders like the Toronto Raptors will try to sneak into that elite tier by knocking it out of the park on draft day, plenty of rebuilding teams will try to nab their next great star. While the top names in the draft (namely Jabari Smith, Chet Holmgren, and Paolo Banchero) are all ready to come off the board early, this lottery class hosts plenty of future stars and role players who are just waiting to get into the right situation to strut their stuff. The myth that this draft is going to fall off a cliff once the top three needs to be dispelled. If your team has picks in the 20s, there could be a future All-Star waiting to be snatched up.
