Let’s get to our latest NBA Mock Draft, which reflects the official draft order for the 2023 NBA Draft.

1. San Antonio Spurs – Victor Wembanyama, C, France

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft is going to be Victor Wembanyama, and he’s absolutely going to change the dynamic surrounding the San Antonio Spurs heading into the offseason. This is a team’s young core that is going to get dramatically more talented.

Wemby may be the most talented NBA Draft prospect that we’ve seen in decades and quite possibly could be the next superstar to take the league by storm. He’ll likely need some time to hit his stride as an NBA player, but once he figures it out he may be unstoppable.

But this is what we’ve known for a while now, that Wemby is going to be the No. 1 overall pick. You can make the argument that this is where the draft officially begins.
