The 2023 NBA Draft will go down in history as the year Victor Wembanyama entered the league regardless of whether he lives up to the enormous hype. Wembanyama is conservatively being called the ‘best prospect since LeBron James,’ and that might be underselling him. Wembanyama is in a stratosphere all by himself in this draft class, and he’s going to change both the present and future of the San Antonio Spurs once his name is called at No. 1 overall. It’s a strong draft class even after Wembanyama. G League Ignite point guard Scoot Henderson would be in contention to go No. 1 overall in most drafts. Brandon Miller and Cam Whitmore are the type of high-upside scoring wings teams covet in today’s NBA. The Thompson twins are the most fascinating prospects in the class as hyper-athletic guards with plus size who are blazing their trail out of the Overtime Elite league. In my evaluation, the top-11 prospects on the board feel like they would earn strong lottery consideration in any draft. We’ve been scouting this draft class for multiple years, with our first mock draft for this group being published the day after the 2022 NBA Draft. So much has changed over the last year, but the majority of our first board still looks pretty good 12 months later. Here is our final 2023 NBA Draft board with the top-60 players in the class ranked regardless of position. This list features tiers to show when the talent level in the draft starts to drop off.
