The 2023 NBA Draft has been synonymous with one player: 7-foot-4 French phenom Victor Wembanyama. And since the NBA Draft Lottery in May, NBA fans have known where Wembanyama (presumably) will play next season, the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs landed the No. 1 pick in the lottery, and while the Charlotte Hornets (No. 2) and Portland Trail Blazers (No. 3) just missed out on a generational talent, there are two more players with high NBA potential. G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson and Alabama wing Brandon Miller worked out for both franchises in the pre-draft process, and it’s still anyone’s guess as to who will land where.

That also could portend a lot of movement in this draft, depending on current NBA star’s wishes (see: Portland and Damian Lillard) or teams wanting to stash as much talent as possible in this class because the 2024 and 2025 drafts will not be as deep.

What: NBA Draft, two rounds consisting of 58 total picks (two picks were forfeited because of violation of tampering rules)
Where: Barclays Center, Brooklyn
When: 8 p.m. ET Thursday
TV: ABC (first round only); ESPN (first and second rounds)
