After the lottery, in which the order in which the teams will select the eligible players was defined, the Orlando Magic have been the "lucky losers": last in the Eastern Conference with only 22 wins in their locker, their poor performance in the track served the Florida franchise to achieve the first pick in the draft. With great power comes great responsibility, and the offices of the Amway Center are aware of this.
The three best projects for the new promotion, according to the mock drafts of most specialists, are Jabari Smith (Auburn), Chet Holmgren (Gonzaga) and Paolo Banchero (Duke). Although the first comes as the leading candidate for number one, an anonymous person has revealed to the Associated Press that he finished a multi-day meeting of the Orlando Magic with Holmgren last Friday.
The draft is always surrounded by uncertainty, hype and secrecy, and the possibility of surprises that even the most outstanding experts cannot imagine exists until Adam Silver announces all the names and their destinations. However, each player's talent, numbers and projection are there. Based on their performance in college, these are the top favourites to fill the top spots in the 2022 NBA draft.
