We are merely hours away from the 2023 NBA Draft and we are starting to get a more clear picture of how everything will shake out.
This mock draft is based on intel, research, scouting, deep data dives, and continued conversations with experts around the league. The results of this mock draft are based on the current order of the draft, though we can expect trades that will shake up the picks on the night of the event.
Included in this version is original reporting with direct quotes from Jarace Walker, Dereck Lively, Gradey Dick, Nick Smith, Keyonte George, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Brandin Podziemski, Noah Clowney and more!
