It's still very early in the pre-draft process for 2022, but NBA teams are out in full force getting first impressions of many of the best prospects in the 2022 NBA draft class.

How did Memphis freshmen Emoni Bates and Jalen Duren fare in their first exposure to high-level NBA decision-makers? How are top prospects Chet Holmgren, Paolo Banchero, A.J.
