With March Madness beginning in less than a day, many are interested to see which NBA prospects will do well. Of course, this also means some modifications in our 2023 NBA Mock Draft. Right now, it really makes no difference if your favorite team is in the playoff hunt or not. In fact, it may be better if your team is in the bottom half of the standings, much like the Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets, and San Antonio Spurs. On the flip side, even contenders like the Memphis Grizzlies or middling teams like the Toronto Raptors may also end up with some quality rookies. Here, we’ll have the Pre-NCAA Tournament Edition of our 2023 NBA Mock Draft. Although the top two picks in the upcoming draft are considered locks already, other teams picking later in the draft still have a chance to secure talented players. There’s no hiding that Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson are highly touted as the top two prospects in this year’s draft class. Both are expected to immediately elevate the franchises that will draft them.
