The 2022 NBA Draft features three former high school standouts who dominated at the amateur level. Paolo Banchero from Seattle lived up to his five-star billing at Duke, using his 6-foot-10 frame and guard-like skills to become one of the most versatile prospects available.
Chet Holmgren, a 7-foot big man from Gonzaga, combines exceptional ball handling with elite shot-blocking ability. Jabari Smith rounds out the top tier with his smooth shooting stroke and defensive versatility. All three were profiled during their high school careers and are projected to go in the top picks.
