Two-year NBA veteran Sam Merrill was the first overall selection at the 2022 NBA Draft. Merrill was selected the Cleveland Charge, who are the Cleveland Cavaliers G League affiliate. Merrill remains an NBA free agent and free to sign with any NBA team, despite playing for the Charge this season.

Joe Wieskamp, who played for the San Antonio Spurs last season was selected second overall by the Wisconsin Herd. The Herd are the affiliate of the Milwaukee Bucks.

Other notable players selected were rookie Jared Rhoden (College Park Skyhawks - Atlanta Hawks), three-year NBA veteran Rashad Vaughn (Cleveland Charge - Cleveland Cavaliers) and six-year NBA veteran Norris Cole (Grand Rapids Gold - Denver Nuggets).

The Philadelphia 76ers will convert Michael Foster Jr. to a Two-Way contract. To create the space for Foster, the Sixers will waive Charlie Brown Jr. from his Two-Way deal.

Foster went undrafted at the 2022 NBA Draft after spending last season with the G League Ignite. With the Ignite, 6-foot-8 forward averaged 15.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.9 blocks over 28 G League games.

Brown saw limited action in 19 NBA games with Philadelphia last season. He's also played for the Atlanta Hawks, Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks in his three-year NBA career.

When French club Metropolitans 92 and G League Ignite agreed to play a pair of exhibition games, it was hoped that Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson would put on a show. The two 18-year-old prospects delivered.

Wembanyama scored 37 points on 11-of-20 shooting, including 7-of-11 on three-pointers. He also blocked five shots. The combination of seven threes and five blocks has happened only one time in NBA history.

Henderson led the Ignite to a 122-115 victory behind his 28 points. The guard scored 28 points on 11-of-21 shooting. Henderson showed off an impressive mix of his driving ability and his jump shot.

Wembanyama and Henderson are widely expected to be selected first and second overall, respectively, at the 2023 NBA Draft.
