The 2022-23 NBA season has had a lot of headline material already, and action has continued to intensify during the holiday season. Despite that, a lot of NBA fans are looking ahead to the future talents who’ll play in the Association. Likewise, scouts are already talking about the 2023 NBA Draft. That’s especially after many college players have seen action in the current NCAA season and boosting their stocks. Here, we’ll have the Christmas Edition of our 2023 NBA Mock Draft. More freshmen who are breaking out, player injuries, and a few underperforming players who are losing scouts’ favor are just some of the things that have affected the NBA draft conversation for 2023. There has been discussion over who should go after Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson. Those are, of course, whom most scouts agree are the top two choices. Nick Smith Jr. from Arkansas, Cameron Whitmore from Villanova, Keyonte George from Baylor, and even Brandon Miller from Alabama have joined the discussion with the Thompson brothers from Overtime Elite.
