2022 NBA Mock Draft: Nikola Jovic, Serbia

One of the riskier picks in the first round, the Philadelphia 76ers would be taking a home run swing on Nikola Jovic. He is one of the most confident players in the draft and could be an exceptional scoring wing with a touch of playmaking.

If he can be consistent, he has the size to be the ideal wing for the Sixers going forward. Given the rebound from the Ben Simmons’ situation, taking a risk could go a long way.

2022 NBA Mock Draft: Jean Montero, Overtime Elite

With one of the most impressive rosters in the league, the Milwaukee Bucks can take their chances with potential elite talents. Jean Montero is playing for Overtime Elite, something that most scouts are still foggy on what to make of it. However, he has a great handle and can get to the rim with ease. If he can figure out the shot and improve as a passer, this could be a steal.

2022 NBA Mock Draft: Wendell Moore Jr., Duke

With a pick from the Miami Heat, the Rockets can add further to their core after selecting Chet Holmgren earlier in the draft. Adding a wing should be the priority, and Wendell Moore Jr. fits the bill. He is extremely efficient and growing into an able two-way wing. His passing would impact the Rockets immediately, allowing the rest of their roster to finally flourish.
