2022 Draft Profile - Jaden Ivey

Cody Taylor - USA Today - Apr. 9th: "His decision-making and shot creation seem to have improved throughout the season, which should help him transition to the next level. He projects to be a dynamic player at the next level who can eventually develop into a franchise cornerstone."

Ricky O'Donnell - SB Nation - Apr. 5th: "He has the potential to develop into a primary offensive option, but he needs to continue improving his manipulation of pace, his pull-up three ball, and how he reads the second level of the defense."

Kyle Boone - CBS Sports - Mar. 16th: "Cliche as it may sound, Jaden Ivey's got a special "it" factor and exudes confidence and swagger. It meshes perfectly with his on-court game as arguably the most explosive athlete in this draft class. "

Jonathan Givony - ESPN - Mar. 15th: "He also has gradually emerged as a more consistent force in Purdue's half-court offense, doing a better job of harnessing his explosiveness, picking his spots and making others better, even if his decision-making still leaves something to be desired at times."

Bryan Kalbrosky - USA Today - Feb. 16th: "Ivey is a force to be reckoned with in transition and with increased comfort as the pick and roll ball-handler, he has shown he can become the No. 1 option in an NBA offense."

Kyle Irving - Sporting News - Feb. 11th: "He has an explosive first step to get to the rim and invites contact once he's inside the paint. That same physicality translates to the defensive end, where he has looked like one of the most disruptive perimeter defenders in college basketball."

Ricky O'Donnell - SB Nation - Jan. 19th: "Ivey’s main appeal starts with the fact that no player in this draft class has better burst with the ball in his hands. The 6’4 guard is a blur with both his first step in the halfcourt and his transition attacking."

Cody Taylor - The Rookie Wire - USA Today - Jan. 19th: "Ivey is as explosive as they come with the ball in his hands, something that can fit any team in the NBA. His decision-making and shot creation seem to be improving, which should help him moving forward."

NBA Draft Room - Jan. 15th: "Ivey is a high level athlete who plays both ends of the floor. Is really emerging as a prospect and has high lottery potential."

Jeremy Woo - SI - Jan. 13th: "Scouts have nitpicked his basketball IQ and decision-making skills, as well as some occasionally underwhelming defensive performances. But Ivey offers uncommon upside, particularly relative to the rest of this class, which should keep his stock stable in the top five moving forward."

Sam Vecenie - The Athletic - Jan. 6th: "The key now is consistency, as evaluators have some questions about his pull-up shooting consistency (he’s hitting 45 percent from 3 this season after having hit under 30 percent as a freshman last year), his decision-making and his ability to work his way through passing reads in the half court."
