15. Oklahoma City Thunder (via LAC) – Shaedon Sharpe, G, Kentucky

Heading into the 2022 NBA Draft, there may not be a bigger question mark than Shaedon Sharpe. However, he is almost certain to go in the lottery. That said, I honestly have no idea where he’ll be taken. It will be interesting to find out on draft night, however. He’d be a good addition to a rebuilding team such as the Thunder.

16. Houston Rockets (via BK) – TyTy Washington, G, Kentucky

It may not be popular to see the Houston Rockets add a guard with such a high pick in the first round, but Houston still needs to attempt to find a new face of the franchise. And you never know when one is going to arise, even if you believe you are set in the backcourt.

TyTy Washington has that star potential.
