From Shareef O'Neal to Scotty Pippen Jr.: Second generation ... (Sporting News)

Among the 58 NBA hopefuls that will hear their names called on draft night in 2022 are several prospects that are the sons of former NBA players, including ...

The 6-foot-5 wing was a consensus All-American during his sophomore season and will be a lottery pick in 2022. He spent time with the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce and Delaware Blue Coats in the 2021-22 season. Shareef's averages of 2.9 points and 2.1 rebounds as a junior at LSU certainly won't jump out at you, but his talent is undeniable as he was a highly-touted recruit coming out of high school. This past season, he spent the year with the KW Titans of the NBL Canada where he averaged 5.8 points and 3.1 rebounds while shooting 38.6 percent. Smith could very well hear his name called first in the 2022 NBA Draft, but he won't be the first Jabari Smith to be drafted to the league. After two seasons at Colorado, Jabari Walker is projected to hear his name called in the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft. Jabari Jr. averaged 16.9 points and 7.4 rebounds as a freshman at Auburn, displaying elite shooting (42.0 percent from 3) for a player his size (6-foot-10). The elder Jabari Smith was the 45th pick in the 2000 NBA Draft and played in 108 games over four NBA seasons. Adrian "AJ" Griffin Jr. is yet another prospect that will hear his name called during the lottery in the 2022 NBA Draft. The Duke product is considered by many as the best shooter in the draft class. Artest, the son of Metta Sandiford-Artest (formerly Ron Artest Jr.), enters the NBA Draft in 2022 after going undrafted in the NBA G League Draft in 2021. Ron Sr. was the No. 8 pick in the 1986 NBA Draft and averaged 22.9 points per game as a rookie, kickstarting a 15-year career in which he won five NBA titles — three with the Bulls and two with the Lakers. Who are the second-generation prospects in the 2022 NBA Draft? Here is a list of notable names, many of which you'll be hearing on draft night. Among the 58 NBA hopefuls that will hear their names called on draft night in 2022 are several prospects that are the sons of former NBA players, including prospective No. 1 overall pick Jabari Smith Jr.

O'Neale worked out for the Lakers before the draft.

Fortunately, his father's old team is giving him a chance to do so. He's going to have to impress a team on the margins and prove that he can be a solid role player if he wants to play professional basketball. He played just 129 minutes last season for LSU, and as such, his father urged him to stay in school.
