Top 50 $DRFT Stock Market Update

The Wolf of Ball Street looks upon mainstream big boards to set updated stock prices for the Top 50 of the 2022 NBA Draft Class.

Feb 15, 2022

As the draft cycle rolls on and we continue to speculate on which prospects will yield the biggest return on investment, it’s yet again time for another prospect stock update. Mainstream evaluators have started to feel more and more comfortable expanding their rankings, and as such, we’ve expanded this month’s $DRFT update to include the top 50 prospects.

To eliminate personal bias from a singular big board, the monthly $DRFT updates that we provide here at No Ceilings configure a cumulative ranking based on some of the most respected big board rankings in the draft community. This month we look upon ESPN, Bleacher Report, Tankathon, Basketball News, the Athletic, and ya’ boys at No Ceilings.

These rankings evolve all the time and this month brings some of the most drastic changes we’ve had throughout the entire 2022 process. On Ball Street nobody’s spot is safe. Remember the number one rule…

Nobody - and I don't care if you're Jonathan Givony or if you're Jimmy Buffet - nobody knows if a stock is going to go up, down, sideways or in circles!
