2022 NBA Mock Draft 4.0 (Picks 19-21)

19. Minnesota Timberwolves – Ochai Agbaji | SG | Kansas | 6’5” | 214 LBS

Arguably the best available talent left at this juncture, Ochai Agbaji is a lethal three-point weapon who is active on defense, a fitting player for an improving Minnesota Timberwolves team that is among the best offensive clubs in the league and one of the fastest risers as a defensive unit. However, he is far from a guarantee to remain on the board at this point.

20. San Antonio Spurs (from TOR) – Nikola Jovic | PF | Mega Bemax | 6’10” | 209 LBS

This is a classic San Antonio pick. Known for favoring international prospects, Nikola Jovic from Serbia could quickly become a Gregg Popovich favorite with his combination of length, skill, and versatility, adding a much-needed size and flair to a growing Spurs team struggling with consistency and currently on the outside looking in.

21. Denver Nuggets – TyTy Washington | PG/SG | Kentucky | 6’3” | 185 LBS

TyTy Washington’s draft forecasts have wavered, but he’s the one of the best backcourt prospects left in a rather thin pool of floor generals in the draft. The Denver Nuggets’ point guard rotation simply lacks quality depth in account of Jamal Murray’s injury, and the Kentucky standout could immediately contribute heavily for them next season.
