Today, I took the time to watch both of the combine scrimmage games that were played at the 2022 NBA Draft Combine. Although some of the prospects pulled out of the combine scrimmage games, others stayed in to compete to try to improve upon their draft standing. Some of the prospects turned in very strong performances while others didn’t seem to stand out nearly as much. Here are my thoughts on both of the games went. Also, for those that are interested in the box scores of the two games, here is the link, courtesy of Sports Illustrated’s Jeremy Woo via Twitter.
Thoughts on the First Game Between Team Curry and Team Weaver:
Team Curry went up against Team Weaver. It was close for a good portion of the way, but Team Curry had a strong second half to run away with the victory. They received strong performances from numerous players, and the standout performers looked to be Trevion Williams, Iverson Molinar, Jabari Walker, and Kenneth Lofton in this game. Here are my thoughts on how they fared, as well as other prospects that caught my eye in this contest. Also, for those that are interested in the box score of this game, here is the link.
Trevion Williams turned in a strong showing, as he showcased versatile scoring skills, rebounded the ball really well, and he also excelled as a playmaker to help Team Curry get the win in this game. Williams showed off a satisfactory ability to knock down jumpers in this game. He was able to make an open, spot-up three off the catch.

He especially thrived as a rebounder and facilitator when he was on the floor, and he also showed off improved shooting and ball-handling skills when he was on the court. Williams will need to show that he can consistently score against taller, more athletic opponents on offense, but his versatility, high skill level, and good feel for the game could enable him to be a solid role player in the NBA.

Kofi Cockburn had a fairly solid showing, as he notched a double-double in Team Weaver’s loss to Team Curry in this game. He especially thrived as a rebounder in this contest.

He will need to show that he can match up to more athletic opponents, and he will need to defend better and show a more reliable jump shot. Currently, he projects to be a borderline second round candidate for the upcoming draft.
Terquavion Smith made a lot of noise in this game, and his ability to score, rack up points, and play energetically may have likely helped boost his draft stock due to his performance in this contest. He played fairly well overall, even though the box score suggested that he wasn’t nearly as efficient in making shots as the draft buzz he generated from today’s game suggested. Well actually, Smith was fairly streaky with his jump shot in this game, as he scored 17 points on 17 shots, but he is a shoot-first combo guard that showed that he was quite comfortable in taking and making shots from long distances, and he also showed some playmaking and defensive skills along the way.

Thoughts on the Second Game Between Team Erman and Team Johnson:
I also took the time to watch the second game that took place between Team Erman and Team Johnson. It was a very competitive, low scoring affair, and it was a hard-fought defensive battle that went all the way down to the wire. Ultimately, Dereon Seabron was able to score to give Team Erman the go-ahead basket to get the win over Team Johnson. The top performers of this game looked to be Dereon Seabron, Aminu Mohammed, Drew Timme, and Jalen Williams. Here are my thoughts on how they fared, as well as others that seemed to separate themselves from the rest of the pack.
Dereon Seabron had a superb showing to help lead Team Erman to a win over Team Johnson. He is an athletic, skilled point forward that had a strong all-around game, he thrived at taking the ball to the rim to score the basketball, and he also made the go-ahead basket to help his team get the victory.

Sometimes though, he would miss shots when he wouldn’t get foul calls.
He also thrived at scoring on hustle plays. Seabron excelled at scoring on fast breaks and put backs. He was able to catch a lob on the break to score to make the game-winning field goal for his team. Also, he showed off fairly average playmaking skills. Seabron is an unselfish player that will make the extra pass to find the open man. Sometimes though, he would throw inaccurate passes, and he would sometimes throw passes when his teammates wouldn’t be ready, which would lead him to commit turnovers.
Also, he did a decent job of rebounding the basketball. Seabron was able to haul in multiple boards on both ends of the floor. He also played solid defense. He would get his hands on passes and poke balls away to get steals. He also contested a three to force a miss.
Overall, Dereon Seabrown played very well, and he thrived at making plays on both ends of the floor to help his team get the victory.

He would go hard to the hoop to score and get free throws, and he also managed to throw down a dunk off of a drive in transition early on. On the downside, he would sometimes try to do too much, which would sometimes lead to wild misses around the basket.
He also showed off decent playmaking skills. He is an unselfish player that would swing the ball to shooters to notch assists. On the downside, he had some trouble handling the ball when pressured, which would lead him to commit ball-handling turnovers. He was called for a charging foul after colliding into an opponent hen handling the ball on a break. He also had a ball poked away from him to commit another turnover.
He also did a good job of rebounding the basketball. Mohammed also defended well. He would poke balls away to get steals and deflections, and he also blocked a shot in this game. Overall, Aminu Mohhamed had a strong showing in this game, and he played well in virtually all facets of the game.

Another time, he lost the ball when handling the ball in the post amidst a crowd as he fell, and it led him to commit a shot clock violation.
Also, Williams was able to haul in multiple boards on both ends of the floor to help his team on the glass. He also played satisfactory defense. He was able to jump on a loose ball to help his team get a steal. He also actively got in the passing lane, as he used his length and anticipation skills to help force a passing turnover. On the downside, he got outmuscled when defending in the high post to allow a score once.
Overall, Jalen Williams played well, and he did a good job of making shots efficiently in this game. He didn’t dominate the match, but he played well by scoring efficiently and by being active defensively to help his team on the court. There are rumors suggesting that he could move up as high as the lottery, but that could be too high for him right now, especially considering he struggled the year before, and had played most of the season in relative obscurity, so he’s still relatively untested against top competition. He’ll need to show that he can consistently play well with less touches in a supporting role, but this game was a step in the right direction. He is an athletic swingman that could project into a 3 and D role, and he could end up being a likely pick in the late first to the early second round range in the 2022 draft.
Christian Braun had a fairly solid showing in this game. He played well in the first half, as he scored the ball quite a bit in the first half for Team Johnson. He struggled to make shots later on, but he excelled in the non-shooting or scoring related elements of this match.
Braun played solid defense in this game. He did a great job of intercepting passes to get steals. On the downside, when defending in the post once, he got beat on a spin move to give up the basket.

Overall, Braun struggled to make shots consistently, as he especially struggled to score consistently off the dribble or in traffic, but he made solid team plays over the course of the game. He showed enough in both halves that make him an interesting prospect. He will need to continue to improve his jump shot, but his skills, versatility, and compete level could make him a good pick for an NBA team in the second round of the 2022 draft.
Ron Harper Jr. also had a solid showing to help Team Erman get the win. He showed off versatile scoring skills, and he was able to make some solid plays on both ends of the court. He thrived at making hustle plays. Harper would tend to score on fast breaks. He also used a hop step to score on a dunk off of a backdoor cut.

He did struggle with his three-point shot in this game, but he has shot the three-ball very well on the season. He may not be an especially dynamic offensive player, as he may not have the quickness or ball-handling skills to be a consistent scorer off the dribble at higher levels, but Harper is a skilled, fundamentally sound basketball player that could be a good find for an NBA team in the draft, and he could end up being a solid role player in the NBA.

Jared Rhoden had a decent showing to help Team Erman get the win in this game. He showed some scoring skills in the first half. He struggled with his jump shot as the game wore on, but he made solid team plays, and he excelled as a rebounder and defender to help his team get the victory.
Rhoden did a satisfactory job of scoring off the dribble. He was able to score on a strong baseline drive while drawing an extra free throw afterwards. He also thrived at scoring on fast breaks. He also would tend to draw free throws when would get the ball on off-ball motion plays, or when he would have the ball around the basket. However, he struggled to consistently knock down his jump shots, as he was unable to make threes or mid-range jumpers on a consistent basis.
He also struggled as a playmaker in this game. Rhoden did not pick up any assists. He also was sometimes careless with the basketball. He had trouble handling the ball when pressured, which would lead him to commit ball-handling turnovers. He also threw a pass that got intercepted.

Overall, Jared Rhoden didn’t seem to have a great game statistically, but he did a lot of little things well, and he thrived at drawing and making free throws, and he also rebounded and defended well. He will need to be a more consistent shooter in games, but he is a defensive-minded, hustle player that could project into a 3 and D role similar to Miami Heat forward, Caleb Martin in the NBA.
After watching both of the games, there were plenty of standout performances amongst players that participated in the combine scrimmages today. There are still two more games that will be played tomorrow, so it will be interesting to see which players will play well in those games. Without further ado, here are my picks for the 3 stars on Day 1 of the 2022 NBA Draft Combine scrimmage games.
The 3 Stars on Day 1 of the 2022 NBA Draft Combine Scrimmage Games:
- Dereon Seabron, Team Erman
- Trevion Williams, Team Curry
- Iverson Molinar, Team Curry
It was a tough decision to decide on whether or not if Seabron or Trevion Williams had the best performance of the day. Williams had 14 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 assists in a blow win over Team Weaver, although he did need 13 shots to get to that point total. Still, his playmaking skills were extremely impressive, and he showed a knack for making very good plays, especially down the stretch in the first game.
Dereon Seabron also turned in a dominant showing, and he showed a tremendous ability to score the basketball and make hustle plays. He scored 17 points on just 8 shots, he showed a tremendous proficiency to get to the free throw line, and he also made a lot of hustle plays defensively. Plus, he also scored the game-winning field goal, as he was able to make a clutch basket towards the game’s end. Therefore, I decided to pick Seabron as the top performer in both of the games that were played today.
There were a lot of solid performances for the third spot, but Iverson Molinar’s very efficient scoring, superb ability to get to the rim to score, combined with that he rebounded and passed the ball very well and showing very good athleticism were enough for me to pick him over the others for the third spot on the three stars list.
It was interesting to see how the first batch of games would turn out, and there were some real standout performances today. The NBA playoffs are going on, and so far, the Eastern Conference Finals is tied up at 1 apiece between Boston and Miami, and Golden State has a 1-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals over Dallas so far. It will be interesting to see which of the teams will win their series to make it to the 2022 NBA Finals. Thanks for reading.
