Thursday night, the lives of 58 young basketball players will forever be changed when they hear their names called and receive the hat for which NBA franchise they will be representing to begin their careers. In what appears to be a very deep and talented draft, there are not many questions at the top of the draft board anymore, as the top three picks seem to be figured out. There are no doubts about Victor Wembanyama going first overall to the San Antonio Spurs. Right behind him, it continues to look increasingly likely that the Charlotte Hornets will be going with Brandon Miller over Scoot Henderson. A decision that has come right down to the wire, the Miller vs. Henderson debate created various trade rumors over the last few weeks and a lot of uncertainty as to how this draft could play out. With Henderson expected to be available with the third overall pick, the Portland Trail Blazers do seem to be comfortable with the idea of selecting the young guard.
