#1 NCAA player to declare for the 2022 NBA Draft on deadline day: AJ Griffin - Duke

AJ Griffin was a key contributor to the Duke Blue Devils reaching the Final Four of the NCAA tournament. While he was not the top star for the Blue Devils, they would not have been as successful without him.
AJ Griffin projects to be the top small forward in the 2022 NBA Draft, but the value of the NCAA small forward position in this year's draft is slightly lower than in previous drafts.
Still, AJ Griffin should be one of the top players because of his versatility and understanding of the game of basketball. Griffin is the son of a former NBA player and plays like a coach on the floor.
For one of the rebuilding teams selecting near the top of the draft, Griffin could be a massive asset and help them develop into a playoff team next season.
