Today marks the start of an important week for the 2022 NBA draft class, as front office executives, general managers and scouts will be in Chicago for the NBA Draft Combine and the NBA G League Elite Camp to evaluate more than 120 prospects for 58 draft slots.

Meanwhile, here is my mock draft for the first 14 picks, with the draft order based on the final NBA standings.
