The 2022 NBA Draft is now a thing of the past as this year’s festivities at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn have come to an end.
With a 22-60 record during the 2021-22 campaign, the Orlando Magic had a 14% chance of getting the No. 1 overall pick, tied for the highest probability with the Houston Rockets (20-62) and the Detroit Pistons, and won the draft lottery for the fourth time in franchise history. The Magic last picked first in 2004 and selected Dwight Howard. This year, Orlando took Duke’s Paolo Banchero at No. 1.
The Rockets ended up with the No. 3 overall selection, picking Jabari Smith Jr., while the Pistons picked fifth, taking Purdue’s Jaden Ivey.
Typically, 60 names would be called on NBA draft night, but as the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat were each forced to forfeit a second-round selection for tampering violations, that number dropped to 58.
And here are all 58 of those picks in the 2022 NBA Draft.
