Looking ahead to the NBA Draft in 2023, we are excited to see the best 50 prospects. The draft is only a few days away, and there have been some changes in the rankings below the top three prospects.
The official pool for the 2023 NBA draft is now confirmed, as the deadline for players to withdraw has passed. There are international prospects who may choose to be drafted and then play for their overseas teams, as well as college players who might benefit from staying in school for another year to improve their draft stock. These factors have significantly affected the draft outlook, especially for players outside the top positions.
Although Victor Wembanyama, a talented player from France, still holds the top spot, lets take a closer look at the updated predictions for this year’s NBA draft.
