This Draft 2022 was announced to be undecided and this was the case from the first choice. While Jabari Smith Jr. was the favorite to go to Orlando, it was finally Paolo Banchero (who did no workouts with the Magic) who was called on stage first by Adam Silver! Chet Holmgren followed for Oklahoma City while Jabari Smith Jr, who was convinced not to slip out of the Top 2, ended up in Houston, in 3rd position in this vintage…
The Frenchman Ousmane Dieng was chosen with the 11th choice by the Knicks … but he was transferred in stride by the Thunder, in exchange for several future choices in the first round.
