2022 NBA Mock Draft: 10. Johnny Davis, Wisconsin

In an effort to truly rebuild, bringing in a guard in someone like Johnny Davis who could be a dynamic scoring threat with some size makes sense for the Portland Trail Blazers.

He has become one of the best scorers in the country thus far and rebounds well at the guard position. With the murky future and current situation, it is easy to imagine a fun backcourt in a few years featuring Anfernee Simons and Johnny Davis.

2022 NBA Mock Draft: 11. Patrick Baldwin, Milwaukee

Coming out of high school Patrick Baldwin Jr. felt like a lock to be a top-10 pick. Playing for his father at the University of Milwaukee has resulted in him playing with a bunch of players who do not quite fit with him.

He noticeably checks out at times, but the chance to pair him with AJ Griffin, Shai-Gilgeous Alexander, Josh Giddey, and the rest of this promising young core could be exactly what it takes to get him back on track.

2022 NBA Mock Draft: 12. TyTy Washington, Kentucky

Anyone watching the Boston Celtics knows they need a point guard who can run the offense and let Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum unlock the best parts of their games. Who better than TyTy Washington, a dynamic playmaker who broke the University of Kentucky’s single-game assist record, previously held by John Wall. He would thrive in Boston.
