NBA Draft: The best team fits for the top 10 prospects of the 2022 class
4. Jaden Ivey, G, Purdue
Best team fit: Oklahoma City Thunder
As the Oklahoma City Thunder look for more help next to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey, there’s one guard prospect that would make a ton of sense. And that’s Jaden Ivey, an intriguing guard out of Purdue.
Ivey has good size at 6-foot-4, should translate to a good defender at the next level, and has been a key cog to Purdue’s success on the offensive end. During his sophomore season, Ivey has averaged 18 points, five rebounds, and three assists per game.
Add in the fact that Ivey has improved his efficiency numbers drastically from his freshman to sophomore season, and it’s easy to see why many believe him to be the top guard prospect in this draft class.
