The 2023 NBA Draft is finally here, and it is set to be one of the most exciting drafts in recent memory, as the potential is there for a ton of trades to go down. Lots of teams around the league could be looking to shake things up this summer, and draft night is often a night where plenty of trades go down.
Some teams will trade their pick for win-now talent, while others will attempt to reset their roster and add a promising young rookie. The teams in that latter group provide more intrigue, as they will have to pick the perfect player to select with their new draft spot.
With that in mind, here are the top five prospects throughout the 2023 NBA Draft who are worth trading up (or in) for.
