With the 2022 NBA Draft finished we’re taking a look a year into the future, and looking at the top prospects in our first NBA Mock Draft 2023.

The 2022 NBA Draft just wrapped and a new infusion of talent has been delivered to the NBA. Some fans are drooling over their team’s incoming rookies but others are already thinking about the next few years of a rebuild and a bevy of future draft picks waiting to be made.

Things are very subjective this early in the process but with just 364 days of scouting left, here’s we’re seeing things in our first NBA Mock Draft 2023.

The analysis of each individual player here relies heavily on the insights of draft experts like Brian Schroeder, Jeremy Woo, Kevin O’Connor and others. We’re way too early to match NBA teams with draft slots in any meaningful way so this is more of a big board format, No. 30-1. However, fans of the Hawks, Nets, Bulls, Rockets, Pacers, Knicks, Thunder and Magic should pay close attention, as those teams all could have multiple first-round picks.

And if you’re looking at any of these picks wondering what the heck I was thinking, just remember that mock drafts are made to be mocked.
