While NBA scouts build their feel for the main 2023 NBA draft prospects, new ones have started to emerge onto watchlists.

After gathering in Portland for the Phil Knight Invitational last month, most are in New York this week for the Jimmy V Classic. There have been dozens of important nonconference matchups for teams to evaluate. So far, there have been more pleasant surprises than disappointments. Still, a few high-profile names may wind up being available in the late lottery or 20s, with questions about their starts becoming more alarming by the game.
