1/8 update: Added the top 50 from Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express. I always seem to forget that his board is updated on the fly without tweets or other alerts, as a running ‘best available’ list. Woopsy!

Christmas time has arrived, so it’s time to sit back and digest what we’ve seen far. To help us with the this exercise, we’re fortunate to (finally) have three 2023 big boards to stack up against each other. So, here’s our first big board comp of the year featuring boards from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, and Tankathon. I also added the link to Jeremy Woo/Sports Illustrated‘s big board from August which I believe was the first one posted this season.

There will be more big boards posted in the coming weeks, so make sure to check back for updates and follow me at @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update notifications. Also, if I’m missing any big boards that you feel belong alongside the ‘All-NBA level’ draft analysts I currently include, leave a comment or DM me on Twitter.
