2 Alabama MBB players selected in latest 2022 NBA mock draft
Alabama has seen a few players make it to the NBA in recent seasons, under both Avery Johnson and Nate Oats. Collin Sexton has found himself a nice career in the league, while Herb Jones, Kira Lewis and Josh Primo are making their young presences felt.
As Oats brings in top talent from across the nation, it will become commonplace for Crimson Tide stars to leave the program early. Whether it be a one-and-done, a player that finds success in his sophomore or junior season or even a transfer, it will happen more often.
The latest 2022 NBA mock draft done by ESPN exemplifies two of the aforementioned examples.
In the second round, pick No. 48 overall, ESPN projects the Sacramento Kings to select senior guard Keon Ellis, who transferred to Alabama from Florida Southwestern State College.
However, much closer to the start of the draft is a true freshman being selected out of Alabama.
At No. 13 overall, the Toronto Raptors are expected to take J.D. Davison off the board.
