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

Jaden Ivey, G, Purdue

The top of the NBA Draft is full of forwards and versatile bigs, but the first guard that will be taken at the top of the 2022 NBA Draft is slated to be Jaden Ivey, a sophomore out of Purdue that has made quite the jump this season.

During his sophomore season at Purdue, Ivey is averaging 17 points, five rebounds, and three assists per game on 46 percent shooting from the field and 36 percent shooting from 3-point range.

Because of his size (6-foot-4 with a 6-foot-8 wingspan), Ivey will not only have the potential to be a good offensive guard at the next level but also a strong defensive one – if he fully commits on that end of the floor.
