In just over a week, 58 different basketball prospects will hear their names called during the 2023 NBA Draft, changing their lives forever. At this point, everyone who has entered the draft is keeping their name right where it is, as the final withdrawal deadline has come and gone. After a total of 242 players declared as early entry candidates, only 92 of these players have kept their names in this year’s draft. Several names you may be familiar with from the college ranks have maintained their eligibility after withdrawing from the draft a couple of weeks ago and, most recently, two potential draftees in Bobi Klintman (Wake Forest) and Nikola Durisic (Serbia) have withdrawn as international players. As teams continue their pre-draft evaluations and some prospects finish their seasons overseas, more and more changes are made to this year’s draft rankings. Based on my evaluations and observations, as well as feedback and opinions from scouts, team executives and others, here is my latest 2023 NBA Draft Big Board 4.0 ranking the top 50 prospects in this year’s draft.
