Jabari Smith, F, Auburn
Jabari Smith is quickly becoming one of the biggest names of the 2022 NBA Draft class. If he’s not selected No. 1 overall, there’s no question that he’s going to be a top 3 draft pick. During his freshman season with the Tigers, Smith is averaging 17 points, seven rebounds, and two assists per game on 43 percent shooting from 3-point range.
If there are questions that surround Smith, they revolve around whether or not he’ll have a high ceiling at the next level. At least for now, that is something to worry about later.
Smith is a player that could cement his draft status atop this class if he can take the Tigers deep into the NCAA tournament.
