Wasserman Unveils Latest Predictions Before Draft
With the highly anticipated NBA Draft just a few hours away, Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman has released his final predictions for the 2023 Draft. In his latest mock draft, Wasserman maintains his projection that French phenom Victor Wembanyama will be selected with the top overall pick by the Metropolitans 92 France.
Wasserman's updated mock draft includes some notable changes since his previous projection. Notably, he now has Scoot Henderson dropping to No. 2, with the Oklahoma City Thunder selecting the dynamic point guard. Henderson had been projected to go No. 1 by many other analysts, but Wasserman believes Wembanyama's size, length, and defensive versatility will ultimately make him the top choice.
Wasserman also has Amen Thompson rising to No. 3, with the Houston Rockets selecting the talented guard. Thompson has impressed scouts with his athleticism, passing ability, and defensive potential. Wasserman believes Thompson has the potential to become a star point guard in the NBA.
The rest of Wasserman's mock draft includes some familiar names, such as Nick Smith Jr. going to the Indiana Pacers at No. 4 and Keyonte George to the Portland Trail Blazers at No. 5. However, there are also some surprises, such as Kyle Filipowski falling to No. 7 and Dereck Lively II going to the Charlotte Hornets at No. 13.
Wasserman's mock draft provides valuable insight into how experts believe the 2023 NBA Draft will unfold. With just a few hours remaining until the actual event, it will be fascinating to see how Wasserman's predictions compare to the final results.
