3. Auburn

2022 Top 100 players: PF Jabari Smith (No. 3), SF Allen Flanigan (No. 31), C Walker Kessler (No. 37) 

Other NBA scouting targets: PG/SG K.D. Johnson 

Prospects for overseas or other pro leagues: PG Wendell Green Jr., C Jaylin Williams, SF/PF Devan Cambridge 

Bruce Pearl's attractive style and track record of player development has helped him lure two McDonald's All Americans in Smith and the UNC transfer Kessler, despite the presence of a not-yet-resolved NCAA investigation. Smith has shown early fireworks that might warrant consideration for the No. 1 pick if he continues to evolve in SEC play, while the 7-foot-1 Kessler's combination of size, shooting and shot-blocking instincts will always be attractive to NBA teams. The question marks surrounding the return of potential first-rounder Flanigan from an Achilles tendon injury will help determine how high this team's ceiling is in March as well as the evolution of bowling ball-like scoring machine Johnson as a decision-making combo guard.
