The 2022-23 NBA season came to an end when the Denver Nuggets raised the Larry O'Brien Trophy earlier this month. Now attention turns to Thursday's 2023 NBA Draftin Brooklyn's Barclays Center. The San Antonio Spurs hold the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, and while everyone already knows who they're going to pick, that doesn't take away from the excitement that is sure to happen over the course of the evening.
All eyes are on the 7-foot-4 Frenchman as Victor Wembanyama is the top prospect this year and considered to be one of the best prospects in draft history. But just below him is a bevy of talent ready to make a splash in the pro ranks as well. Scoot Henderson, who went the NBA G-League route instead of college, is among the more intriguing prospects as many expect him to go in the top three. Plus, Alabama star Brandon Miller is also expected to make a splash with many slotting him into the top three as well.
There's also tons of interest in the twin brothers, Amen and Ausar Thompson, who enter the draft from Overtime Elite.
The Spurs hold the No. 1 pick for the first time since 1997, when they drafted Tim Duncan, and that certainly turned out well for the organization. Selecting after San Antonio are the Charlotte Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers, Houston Rockets and Detroit Pistons rounding out the top five picks.
Ahead of the big night, here's a look at the viewing information and full draft order for the 2023 NBA Draft.
