Top 55 $DRFT Stock Market Update
The Wolf of Ball Street looks upon mainstream big boards to set updated stock prices for the Top 55 prospects of the 2022 NBA Draft Class.
It’s March, baby! The tournament is in full swing, and the draft cycle keeps chugging along. Our last stock update was over a month ago, which means a whole hell of a lot has changed in the draft world. We’re talking big-time player movement, new debuts (including Kentucky’s mystery man), overreactions and underreactions. Just pure unadulterated chaos.
The way this works is that 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, the Ringer, and ya’ boys at No Ceilings.
The $DRFT rankings evolve all the time, and this month brings some of the most drastic shifts that we’ve seen throughout the entire 2022 cycle. 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!

Excellent piece Corey, this draft is going to be interesting, a lot of tough calls considering the uneven talent levels!
This draft will get many GMs fired. Going to be as historic of picking Anthony Bennet, Oden, and Sam Bowie
