NBA draft 2023: Order, start time, how to watch, TV channel and more
One of the more anticipated NBA drafts is finally here. The San Antonio Spurs have had little to think about since they won the NBA draft lottery in May -- France center and generational prospect Victor Wembanyama will likely be their choice at No. 1. But after that, everything is on the table.
Depending on the day, either Alabama's Brandon Miller or G-League Ignite's Scoot Henderson could be selected at No. 2 by the Charlotte Hornets. The Trail Blazers have the No. 3 pick and could either trade it for a veteran to accompany star Damian Lillard or take a young prospect, putting Lillard's Portland future in doubt because he doesn't want to be part of a rebuild, according to reports.
There may be fireworks during the draft with plenty of trade rumors surrounding the top two picks. Or it will be business as usual and remain pretty quiet, which tends to be the case during draft night. Houston will pick fourth, followed by Detroit, Orlando, Indiana, Washington and Utah. Dallas, Orlando, Oklahoma City, Toronto and New Orleans close out the lottery picks.
