2022 NBA Mock Draft

Now that the 2021 NBA Draft is over, it's time to start thinking about the top prospects in the 2022 class.

The 2021 NBA Draft took place just four days ago, with 60 players finding their new homes. With that in mind, many teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder are projected to be a team in contention for the top pick in the 2022 NBA Draft to go along with their other two first rounders.

The 2022 class is loaded with talent and could rival the 2021 class in that regard. While the 2022 NBA Draft won't take place for another year, the SI Thunder team put together a way too early mock draft.

This will be a unique draft in which only 59 players are selected, with the Milwaukee Bucks forfeiting their 2022 second-round pick for violating free agency rules.

The projected 2022 draft order is based on 2021-22 Caesars Sportsbook Odds with all ties being broken by 2020-21 NBA standings.
