2022 NBA Lottery Reactions

I've written many times on here about how much I love the NBA lottery, so of course I had to come back to write some short thoughts on this year's proceedings. This isn't the most exciting draft class with no clear potential superstars at the top, but it's still exciting to see woebegone franchises see their luck turn with new franchise cornerstones thanks to the randomness of ping pong balls.

I wrote brief profiles for the consensus top-3 prospects for work, so #MakeYourPick on who will go #1 over on PlayPickUp.com. I didn't include perhaps my favorite prospect this year, Shaedon Sharpe, since he's not considered likely to go quite that high, but I think that could change based on who emerged as the winner tonight.
