NBA Mock Draft 2023: Predicted first round picks for all teams

The NBA Draft 2023 will take place on June 22, shortly after the conclusion of the NBA Finals. The first pick of the draft belongs to the San Antonio Spurs, who will likely use it to pick Victor Wembanyama.

Wembanyama is a generational talent and already has experience playing professional basketball. Standing at around 7-foot-5 with shoes, the French native is the tallest and best player in the class.

While it's almost 100% certain that the talented center will be the first pick in the NBA Draft 2023, every other pick is up for debate. The good thing, however, is that there are many talented players in this class, and many of them will likely become stars.

The 2023 draft class is mostly focused on Victor Wembanyama since he's a generational talent. However, many other players have put on amazing performances and have a lot of potential.

Since the draft lottery has concluded, we already know the order of the picks. What we don't know is which players will be picked after Wembanyama. Since there is nearly a month left until the draft, many things could change until then.
