In 2021 the NBA Draft was all about Florida vs. California in terms of high school alumni picked.

Not so much in 2022. Arizona stepped up as Florida's biggest competitor, and Indiana was close behind.

Most mock drafts had Jabari Smith going No. 1, but Orlando went with O'Dea High School (Washington) product Paolo Banchero.

We looked up where every player drafted competed in their final year of high school basketball (if applicable) and grouped them by state.

Here they all are, grouped by state (or country if outside the U.S.) in alphabetical order, with the high school each player attended and where they were picked in the draft.
