2023 NBA draft: Live stream, how to watch, TV channel, start time
Entering the 2023 NBA draft, Amen Thompson is the clear frontrunner to be selected by the Houston Rockets with their No. 4 overall pick in the first round. Then again, Paolo Banchero was the popular projection one year ago when the Rockets were picking at No. 3, and Jabari Smith Jr. was the unexpected result thanks to late chaos.
The moral of the story: Nothing is done until NBA Commissioner Adam Silver reads out each selection on the stage at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Trades are certainly possible, too.
If you’re near Houston, you can watch all the drama unfold at the team’s official draft-night watch party at POST Houston.
For everyone else, the best way is to watch on television or a live Internet stream once the picks start rolling in. Here’s a look at how and when to watch, along with various details on the prospects likely to be available for the Rockets and other teams to choose between. Houston also owns a second first-round pick at No. 20 overall.
