March Madness and the 2022-23 NBA regular season have both come to a close and the NBA Draft Lottery odds are (almost) set. That means all attention will soon shift to the 2023 NBA Draft. Fans of teams who made the playoffs will shift their attention to the postseason, but there is still plenty to look forward to if your team didn't qualify. The 2023 NBA Draft Lottery, which is set for Tuesday, May 16, will be one of the biggest nights in NBA history as franchises hope the ping-pong balls fall in their favor to land a generational talent in Victor Wembanyama. Beyond the French phenom, there are plenty of other top prospects to be excited about, from the G League Ignite's Scoot Henderson to Alabama's Brandon Miller and Overtime Elite stars Amen and Ausar Thompson.
