Jaden Ivey is the most electrifying guard prospect in the 2022 NBA Draft.
Ivey is a strong and lightning-quick guard who showed NBA readiness in his sophomore season with Purdue. His creativity in creating shots out of isolation and pick-and-roll situations should allow him to be an NBA-ready scorer right away.
Ivey’s first step is the quickest in the draft, and his unorthodox three-point shot proved effective at 37%.
A combo guard like Ivey has the potential to impact NBA games right from the start of his career. Donovan Mitchell was able to make noise in his rookie season in 2017, scoring over 20 points per game. Ivey may not be that effective from the get-go, rookies rarely are, but he certainly has the potential.
