The 2021 draft has become effective and a new generation has arrived in the NBA. And with her, new Spanish players, such as Usman Garuba and Santi AldamaThey are looking for their place in the best league in the world. Of course, as in the North American competition things do not stop and there is always news, analysts and journalists have been in charge of making their predictions for the 2022 draft, for which there is practically one calendar year left. In a spectacular ESPN article, there is talk of up to 100 players who can enter the lottery and have a hole in the future, in addition to highlighting the absence of bases, the advanced age with which the current generation has landed and the names that will make the covers and headlines in the next years.
Among the leading names in the 2022 draft, there are familiar faces for Spanish basketball. The first of them is Tristan Vukcevic, that in the predictions appears in the position number 21 of the lottery. The Real Madrid youth squad wants to follow in the footsteps of his former teammate Usman Garuba, and plans to land in the NBA in the near future. A few places further back, at 26, we have Khalifa Diop, from Gran Canaria, a 19-year-old who could make the leap to the other side of the Atlantic next year.
And above them, in position number 6, is Yannick Nzosa, the young promise of Unicaja, who will rub shoulders with the university stars of the moment and compete with them for those top positions. Also and further away, at 45, is Rubén Domínguez, from Estudiantes. Mario Nakic, from Andorra and white youth squad, would be 76. One position before would be Boris Tisma, also trained in the same place. And in position 79 would be Carlos Alocen, who would need more security to leave Real Madrid with guarantees.
