Draft night is one of the most anticipated events on the league calendar. Teams – especially those with lottery selections – are hoping to grab the next superstar, and the 2023 NBA Draft will be no different.

Victor Wembanyama is sure to come off the board first. G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson and Alabama wing Brandon Miller are expected to be the second and third picks, in some order.

After No. 3, things will get interesting as teams grab the highest prospect on their respective boards, players that some teams are ready to select at No. 4 while other front offices may not even have in their top 10. The draft is in the eye of the beholder.

It’s an exciting night for NBA fans, who will surely tune in to watch the uncertainty become certain.
