10 Wild and league-changing predictions for the 2023 NBA Draft

Another star player that has not been revealed yet will find himself in the trade rumor mill

As a final prediction, I believe that there’s going to be another star player that hasn’t emerged on the trade rumor mill that’s going to be revealed. It won’t be any of the names that we’ve already discussed but a surprise player. And the news will completely shake the foundation of the NBA Draft and the course of the night.

It would be tough to predict the players that could be on the verge of potentially being moved, but it’s only fair that I throw out a few names after this prediction. First, Joel Embiid has to be monitored. Especially if James Harden has already made the decision to leave, there has to be a non-zero chance that Embiid decides he’s ready for a change himself. Another name to keep an eye on is Jaylen Brown. The trade talk surrounding him has died, but perhaps it could be revived if he’s ready for a change of scenery.

One final prediction is Kawhi Leonard. At least in my opinion, it would not be all that surprising if the LA Clippers tried to sneakily retool around Paul George, who has been the more consistent and healthy of the duo.

The 2023 NBA Draft could offer quite the entertainment. Buckle up, it could end up being a wild night.
