The 2023 NBA Draft is set to take place on June 22. Over the next six weeks, young talents around the country will be looking to make their dream of getting drafted come true. A total of 242 players, including 48 international players, filed for this year’s draft as early entry candidates and can still withdraw their names no later than 5 p.m. ET on Monday, June 12. In order for college players to retain their eligibility, they must withdraw by Wednesday, May 31. Many of the top prospects in this year’s draft class will put their skills to the test over the next couple of weeks, as the 2023 NBA Draft Combine is set to begin on May 16 in Chicago, the same date as this year’s draft lottery. Much will change over the course of the next several weeks, but based on my early evaluations and observations, as well as opinions from scouts around the league, here is my 2023 NBA Draft Big Board 1.0.
