For The Win

There are currently more developmental pathways that could potentially lead to the NBA than ever before, and that’s exciting for scouts and evaluators. As of right now, it is possible that none of the first three players who will hear their names called in the 2023 NBA Draft will play college basketball next season. France’s Victor Wembanyama is joined by G League Ignite’s Scoot Henderson and Overtime Elite’s Amen Thompson as the most touted prospects in the class thus far. That could change, however, now that the college basketball season is now underway. No one predicted Ja Morant would become the No. 2 overall pick before his sophomore season at Murray State began.
