2022 NBA Mock Draft: Trevor Keels, Duke

After moving on from their pick, the Miami Heat get back on the board with the Brooklyn Nets pick. Trevor Keels is a stellar defender, pairing well with the dynamic defensive forwards on the team already.

He is a streaky shooter, but given how well the Heat have been developing shooters, this could be the perfect landing spot for the Blue Devil standout. Yet another talented perimeter prospect for the Heat to turn into a contributor.

Yet another Duke Blue Devil comes off the board in the first round. The Chicago Bulls continue to add depth across the roster as they restocked over the summer. Now, they look to add more depth that is ready to contribute.

Mark Williams is a stout traditional big man with a bewildering 7’7” wingspan. With only Tony Bradley behind Nikola Vucevic, there would be plenty of opportunities for Williams to grow and contribute.

2022 NBA Mock Draft: Yannick Nsoza, Spain

Back on the board, there is a very real possibility that not all of these picks stay with the Memphis Grizzlies. For the time being, taking someone that may not have to immediately come over makes sense.

Yannick Nzosa is one of the younger players in the draft and could be the type of center the Grizzlies could develop off the bench for the future after he spends a little more time in Spain. They have certainly had success with that path in the past.
