NBA Mock Draft 2022: Smith, Holmgren 1-2 in Sam Vecenie's latest two-round mock

This year's draft is generally seen as something of a question mark throughout the league.

theathletic.com

Shaedon Sharpe | 6-6 forward | 19 years old | Kentucky

Sharpe finally comes off the board here at No. 10. He has an incredibly wide range on draft night, as I would say anywhere from No. 5 to No. 12 are in play — with most teams in that range having shown some real degree of interest. Teams have struggled throughout the process to get a handle on Sharpe’s game, something our Kyle Tucker has written about in-depth multiple times. I’ve popped him here to Washington at No. 10. He is the antithesis of what the Wizards have done in each of the last few drafts, as they’ve taken wing/forwards that are a bit older or in the case of Deni Avdija, a bit more limited as offensive players.

I wish he would. And to think he is the highest paid professional athlete in DC history.

He’s definitely opting out, so that’s not the news part. If he opts out he can sign a max extension.

I agree though. They should have traded him a year or two ago. If they sign Beal unless an All-NBA player falls into their laps or KP and Kuzma morph into elite talents they’ll be irrelevant for the next half decade. They’ll be stuck between not being anywhere near good enough to compete for a title and not being bad enough to win the lottery. They’ll also have no cap space to work with to sign another star.

We can probably start paying attention to the Wizards again in 2030. Would love to be proven wrong, obviously, but signing an aging, declining Beal to a contract reserved for the best of the best players in the league will hamstring them for years.

The Ump Show is the hottest reality TV series on the planet. Seemingly each and every night a new episode drops, following MLB’s motley crew of umpires as they get up to all sort of hi-jinx, tossing players, catching foul tips off the cup, and, of course, everybody’s favorite, blowing strike...

Hope they can come to an agreement for a buyout so Wall could actually play this season. Still can be of help to a team.
