Close Call at the Top
The countdown to the much-anticipated 2023 NBA Draft is nearly over. Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman has released his final mock draft, providing his projections for all 58 picks.
Brandon Miller vs. Scoot Henderson
Wasserman's top two picks have been hotly debated all season. With the No. 1 pick, he predicts the Charlotte Hornets will select Brandon Miller, an explosive forward from Alabama. However, Wasserman acknowledges the strong case for Scoot Henderson, a dynamic guard from G League Ignite, who has been a popular choice for the No. 1 spot.
Charlotte's Plans
The Hornets' decision at No. 1 will be a critical one for the franchise's future. Wasserman believes that Charlotte is leaning towards Miller, who would provide them with a versatile and athletic scorer. However, he also notes that the team has shown interest in Henderson, who could bring elite playmaking and defense.
Historic Draft Class
Experts have consistently praised the depth of the 2023 NBA draft class. ESPN's latest mock draft suggests that this could be a historic set of players. With a plethora of talented prospects available, teams will have plenty of opportunities to add impact players to their rosters.
First Round Projection
Wasserman's mock draft provides a comprehensive projection for the entire first round. Some of his notable picks include: Jalen Duren to the Indiana Pacers at No. 4, Anthony Black to the Portland Trail Blazers at No. 6, and GG Jackson to the Oklahoma City Thunder at No. 12.
