NBA 2022 mock draft: Worst-case-scenario for the Pistons
2022 NBA Mock Draft: Pick #4
4. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Guard. Purdue / Indiana Pacers. Jaden Ivey. 100
Oh man, would Pacers’ fans be excited about this.
Not only do the Pacers jump up two spots in this simulation but are able to get a player from Purdue in the process.
Ivey is being largely overlooked in what is being called a 3-player draft, but don’t be surprised if he ends up being the best player.
Ivey is an elite athlete who can score from all over the place and shoots 43.8 percent from long range.
He’d be an ideal running mate for Cade Cunningham, as he is a scoring threat off the bounce as well as a spot-up shooter.
He rebounds his position well and is going to be a solid addition to the team that drafts him and will probably contribute right away.
