Jaden Ivey

Jaden Ivey will almost certainly be a top 5 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft and he actually has ties to the Detroit Lions.

He eventually tried to make a comeback as a cornerback but he never panned out. The following season, Hunter tore his Achilles tendon and missed the entire year. Detroit [which picks fifth overall] could be an option.”

In a three player draft, it might be the fourth selection that offers the highest ceiling. Purdue guard Jaden Ivey has been taken 5th in the 2022 draft by ...

Out of all the players in the draft, his potential as a scorer is the highest. He lacked elite strength against bigger wings and guards and his attention lacked, but his frame is wide and he plays bigger at the rim on both sides of the floor. A point guard who is capable of scoring at every level, growing his play making, and running an entire offense through. Part of what’s most exciting about his game is his ability to draw an entire defense to him in the paint, hang in the air, and diagnose the court while in mid air and find an open teammate. Some of his best highlights on the season are chase down blocks in transition and steals he turned into open floor dunks in the blink of the eye. His mother is the head coach of the Notre Dame Women’s basketball team and he practically grew up in the Memphis Grizzlies locker room when she was coaching in the NBA. This is notable because the player Ivey most resembles is Ja Morant, who has taken the league by storm in his first two seasons with his high-flying highlights.

Ivey was considered to be a top-four pick entering draft night but fell to the Pistons at No. 5. Ivey is an explosive athlete who plays big and is capable of attacking the rim in a variety of ways.

Detroit Pistons got a jolt to their backcourt by selecting Purdue's Jaden Ivey with 5th pick in 2022 NBA draft to pair with Cade Cunningham.

He complements Cunningham as an athletic guard who can get downhill with ease, and has a chance to become a fanfavorite thanks to his athletic dunks. Ivey's father, Javin Hunter, was born and raised in Detroit, attended Detroit Country Day and was a wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers from 2002-06. That, along with his explosive vertical, turned him into a nightly highlight reel in college and will give the Pistons a jolt when he's on the floor. The Pistons selected Jaden Ivey with the fifth overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft. He's a gifted athlete with perhaps the best first-step in the draft, enabling him to break down defenses and get to the rim with ease.

That wasn’t a serious consideration at the time, just as it isn’t right now with Ivey staring up at the consensus top three. Ivey does, or at least projects that way. Very few guards have Morant’s combination of explosiveness, fishing ability and vision.

No pick is ever safe when it comes to NBA draft day. But for now, Jaden Ivey is going to the Detroit Pistons with the 5th pick in the 2022 draft.

But with the Pistons getting their hands on him to pair with last year’s prized prospect Cade Cunningham, the outlook for Knicks fans is looking bleak. With the way that the NBA has turned into a carousel among stars, who knows? No pick is ever safe when it comes to NBA draft day.

Purdue guard was selected by Detroit with the No. 5 pick on Thursday night in the 2022 NBA Draft.

The Pistons were linked to Memphis C Jalen Duren, who could be available at the 11th pick. That’s been one of the Knicks’ biggest weaknesses over the years and Ivey could address that completely. The Knicks and Pistons don’t have a deal in place just yet, but the two sides are in talks.

Getting Jaden Ivey to pair with Cade Cunningham and shaking up the draft with a Jalen Duren trade made the Detroit Pistons winners in the NBA draft.

Ivey will probably play off the ball more than some of his NBA comparisons, such as Ja Morant and Russell Westbrook, so honing his jump shot would be beneficial. Duren doesn't turn 19 until November, but he's already 6-11 and 250 pounds with a 7-5 wingspan. Find our show wherever you listen to podcasts; weekly episodes drop every Tuesday morning. The duo's potential certainly has Weaver and fans excited. Taking Ivey at the top and making a splash with the Duren trade solidified a second consecutive A for the Pistons. Ivey should be the exciting co-star Detroit needed next to Cunningham, and Duren has a promising future down low. If there's any rub, it's that Ivey shot just 35.8% on 3-pointers at Purdue last season.
