The 2022-2023 NBA season is in full swing. Here is the 2023 NBA Mock Draft February 7.
Draft order from: NBADraft.net
1. Houston Rockets- Victor Wembanyama, C, France
There may not be as hyped of a draft prospect since LeBron James. Wembanyama is over 7-foot, but has the skills of a guard. Whoever is picking first will take him.
2. Detroit Pistons- Scoot Henderson, G, G-League
Henderson is really improving in the G-League. He can score for himself and create for his teammates. The fit might be a little bit weird on the Pistons with so many ball-dominant players, but anyone drafting this high has to take best player available.
3. San Antonio Spurs- Amen Thompson, G, Overtime Elite
Thompson is a bigger point guard who also has great athleticism. He has played in the Overtime Elite league for two seasons so the NBA will be a jump in competition, but the Spurs could use his playmaking ability.
4. Charlotte Hornets- Brandon Miller, F, Alabama
Getting players who can stretch the floor has to be a priority for the Hornets. Miller has great length, but can also shoot very well.
5. Orlando Magic- Jarace Walker, PF, Houston
Walker has shown the ability to play in the post, but also stretch the floor with his outside shooting.
6. Toronto Raptors- Nick Smith, G, Arkansas
While he has been dealing with an injury, Smith’s stock won’t likely be hurt too much. He was a highly-touted recruit, who has all the skill to play in the NBA.
7. Orlando Magic- Ausar Thompson, G/F, Overtime Elite
Thompson was named Overtime Elite Finals MVP by averaging 17 points and 10 rebounds per game.
8. Los Angeles Lakers- Gradey Dick, G, Kansas
The Lakers need more shooting and Dick can provide that.
9. Indiana Pacers- Cam Whittmore, F, Villanova
Whittmore is a very good shooter and can fulfill that role in the NBA.
10. Portland Trail Blazers- Keyonte George, G/F, Baylor
George can get to the basket and has solid athleticism.
11. Oklahoma City Thunder- Jett Howard, F, Michigan
Teams who want a potential three-level scorer should look at Howard.
12. Washington Wizards, Anthony Black, G, Arkansas
Black does need to work on his long-range shooting, but can run an offense.
13. Atlanta Hawks- Cason Wallace, G, Kentucky
Wallace can play either guard spot and is one of the best perimeter defenders in the class.
14. Utah Jazz- G.G. Jackson, F, South Carolina
An athletic interior player, Jackson has shown good effort to score despite plays not being run for him.
15. Utah Jazz- Maxwell Lewis, G/F, Pepperdine
Lewis can get to the bucket and has a nice mid-range shot.
16. New Orleans Pelicans- Rayan Rupert, G, France
Rupert is currently honing his craft in New Zealand, where he is adjusting to another level of competition.
17. Phoenix Suns- Noah Clowney, F, Alabama
Clowney has been a good scorer, but a better rebounder for Alabama.
18. New York Knicks- Kris Murray, F, Iowa
Murray helped fill the void his brother left at Iowa and is scoring over 20 points per game.
19. New York Knicks- Brice Sensabaugh, G/F, Ohio State
Sensabaugh is a physical player who can score close to the basket and in the mid-range.
20. Golden State Warriors- James Nnaji, C, Nigeria
The Warriors can always use more depth on the interior.
21. Los Angeles Clippers- Terquavion Smith, G, NC State
Smith can create his own shot and has great quickness.
22. Miami Heat- Kyle Filipowski, C, Duke
Filipowski rebounds well and shows flashes of being a solid scorer.
23. Sacramento Kings- Dariq Whitehead, G, Duke
Whitehead started the year injured, but is working his way back to form.
24. Indiana Pacers- Taylor Hendricks, F/C, UCF
Hendricks can protect the rim and stretch the floor.
25. Brooklyn Nets- Kel’el Ware, C, Oregon
Teams wanting a developmental rim protector can look in Ware’s direction.
26. Memphis Grizzlies- Jalen Hood-Schifino, G, Indiana
Hood-Schifino can score for himself and find opportunities for others.
27. Utah Jazz- Colby Jones, G/F, Xavier
Jones is a versatile offensive player, who needs to continue to improve on the defensive end of the floor.
28. Houston Rockets- Jordan Hawkins, G, UConn
Hawkins is a good three-point shooter who can get his own shot.
29. Charlotte Hornets- Jalen Wilson, F, Kansas
Wilson has taken a huge jump forward this season as a scorer for Kansas.
30. Indiana Pacers- Dereck Lively, F, Duke
Lively was a highly-touted recruit who hasn’t had quite the season he expected at Duke.
