2022 NBA Draft: #37 Jaden Hardy (6' 3", 6' 9" WS) to DAL | two 2nds to SAC

[Winter]

There's probably something to be said for plucking a player out of the G league in the second round - especially one that improved over the season. I am assuming that there's a better monitoring of NBA readiness there than in college since you are frequently playing with better, more mature players.

Next year's #1 lottery projection is in G League now.
