The 2023 NBA Draft could be one of the wildest events in recent memory.
Ahead of this year's event, rumors have been flying around the league. A few teams have already reached agreements on major trades, and more deals may be completed during the draft broadcast.
The only certainty is that the Spurs will select Victor Wembanyama with the first pick. The drama starts at No. 2, as the Hornets could choose athletic guard Scoot Henderson or sharpshooting forward Brandon Miller. The Trail Blazers will then be waiting at No. 3, but they could elect to trade that pick for a win-now player.
As is often the case, nothing can be ruled out on draft night.
Here is everything you need to know about the 2023 NBA Draft, including the start time, TV and streaming information and the full order of picks.
