2022 NBA Mock Draft 5.0: Projecting every pick after early entry deadline

With the NBA draft less than three weeks away, teams around the league continue to ramp up their preparations by meeting with prospects for workouts and interviews.

The field of draft hopefuls was narrowed down this week with 111 prospects withdrawing from consideration ahead of the early entry deadline. It largely went by drama-free, but there were some surprises that withdrew, such as N.C. State guard Terquavion Smith.

Note: The 2022 draft will only have 58 picks after the Bucks and Heat were stripped of their second-round picks by the NBA.
