Both the NCAA Tournament and NBA regular season are now over, so it’s now for the real fun to begin: NBA mock draft season. While the top of the 2023 NBA Draft is pretty calcified at this point (Victor Wembanyama is guaranteed to be the first pick), it gets really weird really quick. Is Nick Smith better than Keyonte George? Is Anthony Black better than Cason Wallace? Are any of the three Dookies (Dereck Lively III, Kyle Filipowski and Dariq Whitehead) even that good? Who can say! The joy of this year’s draft is how open to interpretation it is. With the pre-lottery draft order mostly set, here’s our pre-postseason 2023 NBA Mock Draft.
