With college basketball and other routes to the NBA in full swing, speculation about next year’s NBA Draft will begin to ramp up. The Def Pen Sports 2023 NBA Mock Draft features some high-quality talent that did not take the traditional college basketball route. Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson are the two names that have been talked about the most, but this draft is deep with plenty of lottery-level talent. This far out from the end of the NBA season the order of the teams is not nearly as important as the order of the players. The order will be loosely based on the current standings in the NBA.
