2022 NBA Mock Draft: 13. Kennedy Chandler, Tennessee

The Washington Wizards are currently debating their future by thinking of trading for Jerami Grant and whether to offer Bradley Beal the supermax this summer. Kennedy Chandler has the potential to fit both visions.

He is a speedy game manager who has continued to develop his shot as the season has gone along. If the Wizards do move on to the future, he would fit a need in their present young core as well.

2022 NBA Mock Draft: 14. Dyson Daniels, G-League Ignite

This may be higher than most will have Dyson Daniels, but a ballhawk defensive guard feels like everything that a Tom Thibodeau team is looking for. His offensive game is still developing, but he can get into the paint with a solid floater game. If the shot ever comes along, he is a perfect lottery pick.

2022 NBA Mock Draft: Jaden Hardy, G-League Ignite

This is a big slide for Jaden Hardy, but it may be the best thing for him in the long run. If he is ever able to put it all together, he could develop into the second option on a dynamic offense and would be going to a system that continues to develop players at a high level. Hardy has all the talent in the world, and coming off the bench with the Memphis Grizzlies could be an explosive fit.
