NBA Draft: 10 prospects to know ahead of the 2022 NCAA Tournament

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.
