NBA Draft 2022 odds to be picked in the top 10

Dyson Daniels: -3000
Shaedon Sharpe: -2500
Bennedict Mathurin: -1800

Jalen Duren: -120
Ousmane Dieng: +125
Jeremy Sochan: +150
A.J Griffin: +200
Ochai Agbaji: +250
Mark Williams: +450

Best bet: AJ Griffin (+200)

Griffin is an intriguing prospect and one that could jump into the top 10 because of his shooting ability. In today’s NBA, you can never have enough shooting. The wing shot 49% from the field and 44% from three last season for Duke. His defense could use some work, but with the right team he could be an asset. There’s enough value here to make a bet on Griffin.
