There is exactly one month until the 2023 NBA Draft, and many draft prospects put their skills to the test in last week’s NBA Draft Combine in Chicago. With hundreds of scouts, league executives, coaches and others in attendance, players displayed their shooting skills, strength and agility, as well as who they are as a player in five-on-five scrimmages. Only about half of the combine’s participants played in the scrimmages, as many first-round projected players elected to sit out. If one thing is clear from this past week, it is that this year’s draft class is very deep with talent up and down the board. Many teams will be getting fantastic players in the second round of this year’s draft, which should make for an exciting offseason of additions for all 30 franchises in this league. Several changes to who remains in the draft could occur soon, as early-entry candidates can still withdraw their names no later than 5 p.m. ET on Monday, June 12.
