Ranking 3 Best NBA Draft Landing Spots For Jaden Ivey

Jaden Ivey, NBA Draft
NBA Analysis Network

One prospect garnering a ton of attention leading up to the 2022 NBA Draft is Purdue guard, Jaden Ivey. Ivey had an excellent sophomore season with the Boilermakers, which has put him squarely in the mix to go in the top six, potentially as high as No. 2 to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Ivey has an excellent pedigree, as his father and grandfather both played in the NFL. His mother, Niele Ivey, played in the WNBA and is currently the head coach for the women’s team at Notre Dame. He has been around the game of basketball essentially his entire life and it shows when he is on the court.

Dynamic with excellent athleticism and scoring ability, Ivey has star potential with his ability to put the ball in the basket. There are some concerns about his 3-point shooting, but he made huge strides in that area this past season; he just has to prove it wasn’t an outlier.

Picking up the intensity and attention to detail defensively will also be important. He has all of the tools to succeed on that end of the court and has put some good performance on tape, but he needs to find consistency on the defensive end to reach his true potential.
