Hall-of-Famer Tracy McGrady named a pair of 2022 NBA draft prospects when asked by NBC Sports Washington which prospects he thinks has the best chance of being future superstars.
“I like the kid Johnny Davis. I think he has the ability to be a star in today’s game. I think Jabari Smith has the ability to be a star in today’s game,” McGrady said. “Those two really stand out to me of having that potential to be perennial All-Stars in the NBA.”
While it must be exciting for Smith Jr. and Davis to hear this from an NBA legend, the chances of the Oklahoma City Thunder adding either is low. Smith Jr. is projected by most national mock drafts to go first overall to the Orlando Magic while Davis is projected to go before 12, but there’s still a decent shot he falls to there.
