The 17 best prospects outside of the 58 picks from an aggregated big board

As the first installment in a new series, this will show some of the best prospects outside of the draft pool.

There are only 58 picks this year after the Milwaukee Bucks (#54) and Miami Heat (#55) each had to forfeit their second round picks as punishment for tampering last offseason.

The rankings here come from eight different boards being averaged together, including my own, mainstream boards like ESPN, The Athletic, and The Ringer, as well as a few more from some fellow draft nerd friends of mine. I’ll link the full boards with the conclusion of the series so as to retain the element of suspense in the meantime.

Also a quick bit of news came out Monday morning that Fort Eerie International Academy (Canada) wing Leonard Miller would withdraw from the draft and will instead join the G League Ignite.

Next year’s Ignite team already includes potential top-3 pick in 2023 Scoot Henderson as well as former Washington State big man Efe Abogidi, who could become a first round pick in ‘23. I think it’s a great fit for Miller’s development, and I expect he’ll be a lottery prospect in ‘23.

Miller came in ranked 43rd on this board, but I’ve since updated the board; i.e. Ziga Samar was #76 and he’s been updated to #75, Tevin Brown was #75 and now he’s #74, etc.

Given that the Phoenix Suns don’t currently own a pick in the 2022 draft after using the first round pick in the trade to acquire Chris Paul and the second round pick to acquire Torrey Craig, this will be the most Suns-applicable part of the series — at least until the team trades back into the draft, which they seem to be at least thinking about.
