NBA Mock Draft 4.0: The best prospect for every team in the first round

2022 NBA Mock Draft 4.0 (Picks 4-6)

4. Sacramento Kings – Keegan Murray | PF | Iowa | 6’8” | 225 LBS

With a firm core heading into next season, the Sacramento Kings should prioritize snagging a prospect who fill a position of need in the NBA Draft. Fortunately for them, Keegan Murray, a fast riser in various mock drafts, is the right mixture of versatility and raw talent at the power forward position that should thrive next to Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox.

5. Detroit Pistons – Jaden Ivey | SG | Purdue | 6’4” | 200 LBS

Like the Magic, the Detroit Pistons probably prefer a frontcourt prospect, but unlike them, they are still incentivized to pick a guard. Easily the best guard in this draft, Jaden Ivey has all the tools to be the ideal running mate of Cade Cunningham with his explosive leaping ability, three-level scoring, and pesky on-ball defense.

6. Indiana Pacers – Shaedon Sharpe | SG | Kentucky | 6’6” | 200 LBS

Indiana probably prefers to snag a frontcourt prospect with their highest pick in more than 30 years, but Shaedon Sharpe, arguably the biggest mystery in the draft, should be a very solid acquisition at no. 6 with his incredible athleticism and scoring prowess. As said previously, he should be able to galvanize a Pacers frontcourt over reliant on jump shots.
