2022 NBA Draft: #37 Jaden Hardy (6' 3", 6' 9" WS) to DAL | two 2nds to SAC

[Chicagojk]

I have not dug into the draft but I am probably going to be higher on Freshman JD Davison than most draft experts.    Davison had an up and down freshman season on a team with older guards and he is not close to being ready for the NBA so you will need to take the long view.   But last year Jaeden Ivey was a fringe first round pick and Keegan Murray, Johnny Davis, and Bennedict Mathurin would not have been first round picks.   They came back for their soph seasons and now are lottery picks.  I think Davison could have a similar growth if he went back for his soph year.    

He is a great athlete, good body and is a nice passer.  The rest of his game is a little rough. He is out of control a lot and is not a great shooter, but he is the type of guy you draft who has upside to be a future starter.
