2nd 2023 NBA Mock Draft.
1. San Antonio Spurs: Victor Wembanyama- Metropolitans 92/France
2. Charlotte Hornets: Scoot Henderson- G League Ignite
3. Portland Path Blazers: Brandon Miller- Alabama
4. Houston Rockets: Amen Thompson- Extra time Elite
5. Detroit Pistons: Cam Whitmore- Villanova
6. Orlando Magic: Ausar Thompson- Extra time Elite
7. Indiana Pacers: Jarace Walker- Houston
8. Washington Wizards: Anthony Black- Arkansas
9. Utah Jazz: Taylor Hendricks- UCF
10. Dallas Mavericks: Dereck Vigorous- Duke
11. Orlando Magic: Gradey Dick- Kansas
12. Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder: Kobe Bufkin- Michigan
13. Toronto Raptors: Nick Smith Jr- Arkansas
14. New Orleans Pelicans: Jalen Hood-Schifino- Indiana
Notes: My high 5 stay the identical with a brand new #6 decide in Ausar Thompson. Thompson withdrew from his exercise with the #7 choice Indiana Pacers, as many assume he has a high 6 assure (through Indy Star/hat tip to Arthur Hill of Hoops Rumors). Jarace Walker & Anthony Black keep at 7 and eight, however I needed to transfer down Taylor Hendricks to 9 whereas Dereck Vigorous, Gradey Dick, and Kobe Bufkin moved as much as 10, 11, and 12. Lastly, it’s been laborious to get a learn on who Toronto & New Orleans will choose at 13 and 14, so my greatest guesses proper now are Nick Smith Jr. and Jalen Hood-Schifino.
Fast notes: I took Bilal Coulibaly out of my lottery as a result of the Jazz even have the sixteenth decide, and regardless of his buzz, I don’t know if anybody takes him earlier than 16 until Utah does at 9. Jordan Hawkins falls out of the lottery as effectively, however I’m assured he’ll nonetheless go within the high 20.
