[NBA Draft]: Comparison of Actual 2023 Draft vs. Final Mock Drafts

Note: If the table is not loading correctly on your mobile device via Twitter, then copy and paste this link in your browser and view the post on my site at https://hoopsdistillery.com/2023-mockdraftcomp-vs-actual.

We spend a lot of time following all of the top NBA Draft analysts for months as they post and tweet about intel and update their big boards and mock drafts leading up to draft day. But once that day comes and goes, it’s easy to shift focus to how the rookies will fit on their new rosters, summer league, and the next draft cycle, so I thought it might be nice to compile all of the final versions of these mock drafts and compare them to the actual 2023 draft order for easy reference in the future.

Here is the actual 2023 NBA Draft order versus the final mock drafts from Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman, ESPN’s Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony, USA Today’s Bryan Kalbrosky, SB Nation’s Ricky O’Donnell, The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor, and The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie and John Hollinger, Tankathon.com, and our own Hoops Distillery picks:

6/22 update:

6:00PM EST update: Almost time for the big show but the updates just keep on comin’! New picks from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, and Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Jonathan Givony, Tankathon, and Jeremy Woo/ESPN. Top 8 is looking like it’s almost set across these mocks with Wemby, Scoot/Miller, Amen, Ausar, Black, Jarace, Whitmore, Hendricks.

9:00AM update: Happy Draft Day! Best day of the year, hands down. Big thanks to everyone who has supported the site (and or HooDis Twitter) throughout the season!

Well, it’s all quiet this morning after the bombshell Marcus Smart/Porzingis deal in the middle of the night, but I suspect things will start heating up soon and there will probably be one more round of mock draft updates and/or big board updates.

I figured it was only fitting to update my own picks on draft day. And with the Celtics now in control of the #25 pick, I have them taking Dariq Whitehead. Also, I had a little fun with this one more so as food for thought before the draft starts and to get away from group-think. Everyone seems super high on Anthony Black so I moved him up to #4 where Houston may trade the pick away to someone who wants him bad enough to pay up. I also have Coulibaly at #6, as he is the perfect long, athletic wing that the Magic front office always fall in love with. I still have the Thompson twins dropping down in the lottery because it makes more sense for the Jazz and Wizards, two teams who are rebuilding and have nothing to lose if either are a bust, to take a chance on developing them. I have Cam Whitmore as the one who falls the furthest since teams seem high on Bufkin and Lively. Gradey Dick and Cason Wallace are the two who I feel are the most underrated and can’t miss lottery picks. Teams will regret passing on them.

6/21 update:

5:30PM EST: Finished listening to Givony on the Lowe Post Pod and then Woo on the Hoops Collective pod and then updated our mock draft comparison yet again with fresh picks from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN. They now have Ausar Thompson and Anthony Black jumping Jarace Walker and Cam Whitmore. They also have Cason Wallace dropping to #18 behind Jett Howard, Keyonte George, Jalen Hood-Schifino and Jordan Hawkins. Not sure what the medicals on Wallace are saying about his back, but talent-wise (in my opinion) there is no world in which I would pick him last out of those five players.

3:30PM EST: Just added four updated mock drafts, including John Hollinger/The Athletic, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today, and Tankathon. Lots of intel and movement happening, not surprisingly! Everyone but Tankathon has Brandon Miller at #2. Vecenie has the Thompson twins jumping Whitmore and Walker. Meanwhile, Kalbrosky has Coulibaly dropping to #16, while Vecenie has him jumping up to #10. The most interesting pick that I saw which seems like a great fit I hadn’t seen previously (or thought of) is Keyonte George to the Warriors at #19. Jaime Jaquez is moving up on all mock drafts and oddly, so is Jett Howard, after being out of favor for the last month.

1:00PM EST update: The Nuggets just made another trade! John Hollinger tweeted this: “Reminder on Denver-Indy deal: Denver-OKC trade that got that 2024 first originally likely won’t be completed till after July 1, and this trade can’t be completed until that one is.”

12:00PM EST update: looks like Wasserman updated his mock draft for the second time this morning but the only change is Dereck Lively jumping Kobe Bufkin in the late lottery (besides the write-ups/intel of course).

10:00AM EST update: Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report updated his running mock draft last night and included lots of good intel, including Cam Whitmore‘s medicals may be part of the reason for his sudden drop this week to #9 on various mock drafts. He moved Anthony Black up to #6 (similar to KOC) and Bilal Coulibaly to #10. Ausar drop to #8 on this one, while Jarace Walker moves up to #5.

6/20 update: Updated mock draft this morning from Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony/ESPN that is loaded with all kinds of rumors and possible movement. The big shift in the lottery is Cam Whitmore dropping to #9 as was rumored yesterday from Givony on Sportscenter. Olivier Maxence-Prosper, Jaime Jaquez and Brandin Podziemski have jumped Dariq Whitehead and Leonard Miller in the tail end of the 1st round, as playoff teams are assumed to be wanting ready-made players to step into the rotation.

Second update of the day! This one includes some stellar draft links below and a fresh mock draft from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer. Kobe Bufkin moving up to #8 on this one, while Cam Whitmore drops to #9 (mirroring the intel from Givony). He also has Jaime Jaquez moving up to #18, jumping Gradey Dick who drops to #19 (wtf!?). Also, KOC has Noah Clowney going #14 (and Givony/Woo also had Clowney moving up to #21)

6/19 update: Two updated mock drafts for you today: Tankathon and my own. Bradley Beal got traded to the Suns yesterday which may start the dominos falling–and for this off-season, that may include Lillard, Zion, Siakam, Grant Williams, Harrison Barnes, and many more. Buckle up and remember to consume responsibly this week as the proverbial firehose of NBA draft and free agency rumors will be on full strength!

6/17 update: Three new mock drafts in recent days, including updates from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report and Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today. Kalbrosky has moved Kobe Bufkin up to #8 and Bilal Coulibaly to #9, while Taylor Hendricks dropped down to #12. Meanwhile, Wasserman has Scoot moving back up into the #2 slot, and Kobe Bufkin moving up to #12. O’Connor also has Coulibaly moving up to #9 and Anthony Black up at #6, while Gradey Dick dropped to #15. Interestingly, all three of these mock drafts have Keyonte George in the #14 to #16 range, in stark contrast to picks over the 7-10 days where he had dropped to the mid-20’s.

6/16 update: Fresh mock draft update from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic who has Amen Thompson going to Orlando at #6 and Dereck Lively and Jalen Hood-Schifino moving up into the tail end of the lottery and Jaime Jaquez moving up to #22. Keyonte George dropping all the way down to #27–which makes him the player with the most pick variance across all mock drafts (see updated pick variance chart below). Also check out Vecenie’s entertaining live mock draft pod with Coach Spins from last night.


6/14 update: A very meaty, updated mock draft was just posted this morning from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN which has Dereck Lively and Kobe Bufkin moving back into the lottery, Keyonte George dropping to the 20’s, and Colby Jones and Brice Sensabaugh dropping into the 2nd round. Sounds like many of the teams with multiple picks (Hornets, Jazz, Pacers, Rockets, Nets) are all looking to package picks and trade up. They say Jonathan Kuminga may be available from the Warriors who are looking to move up, and also that the Pistons may look to package Bojan Bogdanovic and #31 for Tim Hardaway and #10 from the Mavericks.

6/12 update: New mock draft released today by Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation. Similar to Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today, he has Amen Thompson going #3 to pair with Dame Lillard. But in contrast to Kalbrosky, O’Donnell has Brandon Miller dropping to Houston at #4. This draft discussion with Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation on the Rose Garden Report with Sean Highkin was excellent! O’Donnell goes into detail about his thoughts on the Thompson twins outlook and why is a bit lower on Miller.


6/10 update: Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer has a 6/9 mock draft update, but I see no difference other than Brandin Podziemski moving into the 21st slot to Brooklyn and Dariq Whitehead dropping to the 2nd round. Also, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report pinned his mock to his twitter feed and turned the June article into a running mock draft which he’ll update periodically. As of 6/5 he updated the following: Bilal Coulibaly rose to 11, Ben Sheppard‘s moved up to 19, and Jett Howard dropped to 29.

Also–this trade (!!) went down yesterday:

6/7 update: Added new picks from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer via his NBA Draft Guide. I also added updated Hoops Distillery picks. Very interesting debate emerging as to who goes #4. KOC had Amen Thompson on past mock drafts, but changed his pick to Cam Whitmore this month, while I had Taylor Hendricks but updated my pick to Jarace Walker. Any of those players would be solid picks for Houston, but Amen doesn’t make sense with James Harden coming back (since he is not a PG and not a great shooter), so the question becomes who is the best front court piece or will they just trade the pick to get more vets? In the end, I don’t fully trust Whitmore and think Walker is the better fit to bolster the defense, as they will need it with Harden/Jalen Green up top.


The draft is only 18 days away! The combine and pro days are in the rearview mirror, so it’s time for fresh picks to analyze and compare from Tankathon, Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today, and Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report.

As you know, updates come fast and furious in the final two weeks before the draft so bookmark this page and keep referring back, or follow me on Twitter and set alerts for updates. I’ll also be posting big board comparisons throughout the month, ending with my ‘final mock drafts vs. actual picks’ piece.

There’s a lot of movement happening. Some of this is intel-based, some of it may be overthinking, and some of it may be workout-influenced. The #2 pick chatter seems to have tilted in Brandon Miller‘s favor, while Cam Whitmore has moved up to #5 for the Pistons over Jarace Walker after Walker cancelled his pro day and sparked rumors that he has a promise from someone. Meanwhile, Cason Wallace is dropping like a rock (#17 for ESPN and #15 for B/R). JHS has moved up to #9 for ESPN and USA Today has Scoot dropping to #4 (assuming Portland keeps their pick and goes with Amen Thompson, the better fit). Buckle up and enjoy.

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Mock Draft Comparison, May (updated 5/22)

Note: If the table is not loading correctly on your mobile device via Twitter, then copy and paste this link in your browser and view the post on my site at https://hoopsdistillery.com/mockdraftcomp-may23/.

May 22nd update: Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report has updated picks as of 5/21 along with his Draft Combine stock watch. Scoot and Brandon Miller switched spots at #2 and #3. And Ben Sheppard and Amari Bailey have climbed into his 1st round. He already had Podziemski at #20 pre-combine. Oddly, he has Kobe Bufkin dropping from #15 in his 5/16 mock to #30.


A memorable Draft Lottery night has passed and the Spurs are the big winners of the much anticipated Wemby sweepstakes. Meanwhile, Portland lucked out and moved up to #3 while Houston and Detroit dropped to #4 and #5, respectively. With this year’s draft order officially locked in, it’s time to compare the new batch of mock drafts that were posted last night to sort out who will do what after Wemby is off the board. We have new picks from all of the best: Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, and Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today, And I’ve added my own updated Hoops Distillery mock draft as a cherry on top!

ICYMI, these two articles are must-reads each draft season:

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Mock Draft Comparison, June (updated 6/22)

With draft day approaching quickly, we’ll be locked in all month with updated mock drafts and links to the best draft content to make sure you’re prepared. As always, we’ll be looking at picks from The Athletic, The Ringer, Bleacher Report, ESPN, Tankathon, and SB Nation, along with my own picks.

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Big Board Comparison, May

It’s Draft Lottery Day and everyone is at the Combine, so no better time to dig into the updated big boards from this week, including Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, and Tankathon.

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Big Board Comparison, April

The pre-draft process has officially begun and we have three new big boards to compare Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express, and Tankathon.

Note: If the table is not loading correctly on your mobile device via Twitter, then copy and paste this link in your browser and view the post on my site at https://hoopsdistillery.com/mockdraftcomp-apr23/.

4/13 update: New picks from Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express and the newly hired, Jeremy Woo (!!!) are here, and it’s a doozy! They have Jordan Hawkins going at #11 to Orlando and Noah Clowney at #16 to Utah. I also posted my new picks for April, highlighted by Bilal Coulibaly moving up to late lottery. Too high? Yes, buuut, for those teams that are higher on him than other options, they may as well take him if he’s projected to be a lottery pick next year anyway. I have him going to OKC, who we know has great patience in player development.

Also, ICYMI, both Kyle Filipowski and Donovan Clingan, announced they’ll be returning to school next year which opens up two spots in the 1st round.

Updated pick variance chart added for April. Easy to see that there’s lots of disagreement after the top 10 guys.


After some highly entertaining March Madness action on the men’s and women’s sides, UCONN and LSU were crowned champions for 2023. And now that we’re officially into April’s pre-draft season a batch of new mock drafts have been released to compare and analyze including picks from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Tankathon and Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation.

Some notable movement across these mocks, including Taylor Hendricks moving up to #6 and Cason Wallace at #9 for Wasserman; Kyle Filipowski at #13 and Dereck Lively at #15 for KOC; and Dariq Whitehead moving up to #10 for O’Donnell. Jalen Hood-Schifino has come back down to earth across the board in the 16-22 range, and for the first time we’re seeing Donovan Clingan from the champion Huskies make an appearance in the 1st round, going as high as #19 for KOC. Also worth noting that talk of Brandon Miller at #2 has cooled completely after a sub-par tourney run with an injured groin.

Potential Movement of Draft Order (via Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express)

  • Charlotte’s first-rounder is owned by Atlanta if Charlotte’s pick falls between No. 17 and 30 in 2023. If Charlotte’s pick finishes between 1-16, Atlanta will instead receive Charlotte’s 2024 first-rounder, lottery-protected.
  • On draft night, Charlotte scored a protected top-14 protected first-rounder from Denver via Oklahoma City and New York in a three-way trade.
  • Houston has first-round swap rights with Brooklyn.
  • Houston owns Milwaukee’s first-rounder, which is unprotected.
  • Brooklyn owns Philadelphia’s first-rounder, which is unprotected.
  • Chicago’s first-rounder is owned by Orlando if Chicago’s pick falls between 5 and 30 in 2023. If Chicago’s pick finishes between 1-4, Orlando will instead receive Chicago’s 2024 first-rounder, protected for picks 1-3.
  • Portland’s first-rounder is owned by Chicago if Portland’s pick falls between 15 and 30 in 2023. If Portland misses the playoffs as expected, Chicago will instead receive Portland’s 2024 first-rounder, again lottery-protected.
  • Cleveland’s first-rounder is owned by Indiana if Cleveland’s pick falls between 15 and 30 in 2023. If Cleveland misses the playoffs, Indiana will instead receive Cleveland’s 2025 second-round pick and the Lakers’ 2026 second-round pick.
  • Dallas’ first-rounder is owned by New York if Dallas’ pick falls between 11 and 30 in 2023. If Dallas’ pick finishes between 1-10, New York will instead receive Dallas’ 2024 first-rounder, protected for picks 1-10.
  • Denver’s first-rounder is owned by Oklahoma City if Denver’s pick falls between 15 and 30 in 2023. If Denver misses the playoffs, Oklahoma City will instead receive Denver’s 2024 first-rounder, again lottery-protected.
  • Detroit’s first-rounder is owned by Oklahoma City if Detroit’s pick falls between 19 and 30 in 2023. If Detroit’s pick falls between 1-18, Oklahoma City will instead receive Detroit’s 2024 first-rounder, again protected for picks 1-18.
  • Oklahoma City has first-round swap rights with the Los Angeles Clippers.
  • New Orleans has first-round swap rights with the Los Angeles Lakers.
  • On draft night, New York gained two protected first-round picks, both via Oklahoma City: a top-14 protected originally from Washington, and a top-18 protected originally from Detroit.
  • Washington’s first-rounder is owned by Oklahoma City if Washington’s pick falls between 15 and 30 in 2023. If Washington’s pick finishes between 1-14, Oklahoma City will instead receive Washington’s 2024 first-rounder, protected for picks 1-12.

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Big Board Comparison, December 2022 (updated 1/8)

We finally have a few 2023 big boards to stack up against each other. So, here’s our first #bigboardcomp of the year featuring boards from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express and Tankathon.

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Mock Draft Comparison, Oct/Nov/Dec 2022

Some fresh picks to compare from Jeremy Woo/SI, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, ESPN-Draft Express/Jonathan Givony, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, and Tankathon. Wemby + Scoot we know, but then what…

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Mock Draft Comparison, March (updated 3/28)

Note: If the table is not loading correctly on your mobile device via Twitter, then copy and paste this link in your browser and view the post on my site at https://hoopsdistillery.com/mockdraftcomp-mar23/.

3/28 update: Two new mock drafts added today–2nd update this month from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, as well as Sam Vecenie/The Athletic. KOC has moved up Taylor Hendricks to #8 pick to the Wizards, while Vecenie has him going at #9 to the Magic. Other notable picks include KOC with Noah Clowney going #14 to the Lakers, and Vecenie with Jordan Hawkins going #12 to OKC and Dereck Lively going #14 to the Lakers.

I also re-updated the pick variance chart, and as you’ll see, variance for many prospects increased with opinions shifting from the start to the end of the month.


3/17 update: Updated mock drafts this week from Tankathon, Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation, and Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report. I also added my updated mock draft to the mix, with both Thompson twins going to the Magic (we all know John Hammond wants this!). Wasserman has Taylor Hendricks all the way up at #10 and Kobe Bufkin at #14 in his updated mock. Lots of buzz this week about Brandon Miller overtaking Scoot for the #2 pick, but Scoot is still at #2 across the board. Interestingly, O’Donnell has Amen Thompson going #3 and Brandon Miller #4 (similar to Kalbrosky’s mock). Time to let all of this marinate while watching another great day of March Madness from 12 to 12. Oddly, across the four new mocks, only Wasserman has Kobe Bufkin in the 1st round, up at #14 to Toronto.

I also added our pick variance chart for March. Pretty easy to see that there is a decent amount of consensus across our mock drafts for the guys who will go in the lottery, but lots of disagreement about who goes where in the 15 to 30 range. Jett Howard is mocked to go anywhere from 12 to 28, while Jalen Hood-Schifino has a wide range from 12 to 27.


March has arrived, and with it, a new batch of mock drafts to compare and analyze including picks from Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express, Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, and Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today. With the college season, OTE and G League winding down, there’s been quite a bit of movement. Jalen Hood-Schifino is now considered a late lottery pick across the board after playing some very impressive games as part of a late season run for Indiana. Sidy Cissoko and Leonard Miller are also gaining a bit of momentum, moving into the 20’s on a few of these new mocks. Meanwhile, Maxwell Lewis and Terquavion Smith have dropped to the mid-to-late 20’s for most, with some uninspiring play as of late. Also notable, Wasserman and Givony seem to be cooling on GG Jackson, who they now have in the 20’s.

There have been some really entertaining draft discussions on podcasts over the past couple of weeks including:

The Ringer NBA Draft Show – 3/8 episode: Top-10 NBA Mock Draft

The Box and One podcast/YouTube channel – 3/6 : Mock Draft 2.0

Game Theory podcast – 3/9 episode: NBA Draft comparison battles

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Big Board Comparison, December 2022 (updated 1/8)

We finally have a few 2023 big boards to stack up against each other. So, here’s our first #bigboardcomp of the year featuring boards from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express and Tankathon.

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Mock Draft Comparison, Oct/Nov/Dec 2022

Some fresh picks to compare from Jeremy Woo/SI, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, ESPN-Draft Express/Jonathan Givony, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, and Tankathon. Wemby + Scoot we know, but then what…

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Mock Draft Comparison, February (updated 2/16)

Note: If the table is not loading correctly on your mobile device via Twitter, then copy and paste this link in your browser and view the post on my site at https://hoopsdistillery.com/mockdraftcomp-feb23/.

2/16 update: I knew more mock drafts were coming, but not this soon! Tankathon updated his picks just hours after I posted this #mockdraftcomp and then Sam Vecenie/The Athletic released his today. Vecenie has Jalen Hood-Schifino way up at #15 and Kobe Bufkin at #28. He also has Terquavion Smith dropping way down to the bottom of the 1st round and Nick Smith moving down to the late lottery. Lots to think about and analyze, as always To make that analysis a bit easier, I updated the pick variance chart. Not surprisingly, there’s high variance across the mid-lottery guys whose value differ greatly across mocks.

Sending good vibes and all of our support to Jeremy Woo who got laid off by Sports Illustrated yesterday, along with a bunch of other awesome writers (even one of my fav’s, Howard Beck!). All I can say is…it’s THEIR loss! We’ll be looking forward to Jeremy landing somewhere good soon, so he can pick up where he left off with his all-star level draft analysis.


The February mock drafts are here and so far, we have picks from Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express and two from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report who seems to be updating his mock every two weeks. Plus, I added our Hoops Distillery updated mock draft. Little to no fluctuation in production for Wemby or Scoot this month. Jarace Walker is moving up the boards after a run of great games proving his great versatility, and Brandon Miller seems to be solidly in the 3 to 5 range after Alabama’s run to #1 in the country. Meanwhile, Nick Smith was back in action this week for Arkansas, and Dereck Lively came back onto draft radars after a stellar performance against UNC.

Shout out to Tankathon‘s ‘box ‘Prospect Game Logs‘ page. If you haven’t checked this out, it’s a great tool, for those of us who are tight on time. What becomes a bit frustrating with the ESPN.com box scores is that it can be sorted it by either top 25 or by conference, but as teams move in and out of the top 25 it’s easy to miss a game or two.

Also, I highly recommend this post from @deanondraft called The Downside of Upside if you’re looking for some good food for thought as we approach the heart of draft season. Reading this immediately made me think of Gradey Dick, who most have going in the 10-15 range. Due to his size, basketball IQ and elite shooting he has a very high floor, but as @deanondraft points out, that does not mean he doesn’t also have a high ceiling. Based on this, would any of us really be surprised if he ends up the 3-5th best player in this draft over guys like Nick Smith, Cam Whitmore, or the Thompson twins? They all have less size, less production, less definable skills than Dick, but still have the perception of having higher ceilings based on more elite athleticism.

There will be more mock drafts 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 mock drafts that you feel belong alongside the ‘All-NBA level’ draft analysts I currently include, leave a comment or DM me on Twitter.

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Big Board Comparison, December 2022 (updated 1/8)

We finally have a few 2023 big boards to stack up against each other. So, here’s our first #bigboardcomp of the year featuring boards from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express and Tankathon.

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Mock Draft Comparison, Oct/Nov/Dec 2022

Some fresh picks to compare from Jeremy Woo/SI, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, ESPN-Draft Express/Jonathan Givony, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, and Tankathon. Wemby + Scoot we know, but then what…

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Mock Draft Comparison, January

Note: If the table is not loading correctly on your mobile device via Twitter, then copy and paste this link in your browser and view the post on my site at https://hoopsdistillery.com/mockdraftcomp-dec22/.

1/19 update: Three new mock drafts added today: 1st 2023 mock draft from Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation, two week update from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, and the launch of the 2023 Ringer draft guide from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer. I also added the first pick variation chart for the 2023 draft so we can start to see the expected draft range for the top picks. As is typical at this time of year, there’s a high variance for the 27 top prospects I included — 8.7 currently! In contrast to some of the other mock drafts, the three I added today, all have Kel’el Ware going mid-first round and two of three have Noah Clowney in that range too. Also of note is that O’Donnell seems to agreeanalyst to agree with Jeremy Woo and Sam Vecenie about Keyonte George going late lottery. Also, lots of disagreement about where Anthony Black should be picked across the board.

1/16 update: New 2-round mock draft from Tankathon–1st round picks added here. He has Brandon Miller going at #3 to the Pistons, the Thompson twins back-to-back at #4 and #5, and Brice Sensabaugh all the way up at #14 to the Hawks.

1/13 update: I’ve added fresh 1st round picks for Sam Vecenie/The Athletic and Jeremy Woo/Sports Illustrated. Both have Nick Smith dropping to the #9 spot due to his current injury issues and lack of opportunity to showcase his skills. Woo has some very interesting picks that differ from the rest of the pack including Anthony Black going at #3 to Houston, Amen Thompson dropping to #6 for Charlotte, Keyonte George dropping to #16 with the Clippers, and Rayan Rupert jumping him at #13 to the Jazz. Also, I slightly updated my own mock draft, as I totally forgot to include GG Jackson in my original version.

1/8 update: New 1st round picks added for Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today and Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, as well as our first mock draft of 2023! Jett Howard and Maxwell Lewis now firmly entrenched in the top half of the 1st round, Colby Jones in the middle of the 1st round, and Ricky Council towards the end of the 1st round.

It’s time to break away from the highly erratic early season mock drafts as team records are starting to settle out a bit, giving us a better feel for which teams will be in the lottery. So far this month, we have three new mock drafts to compare, including Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, and Tankathon. After some impressive games in the non-conference play, some new names have popped into the first round across the board, including Ohio State’s Brice Sensabaugh, Alabama’s Noah Clowney, UCF’s Taylor Hendricks, and Pepperdine’s Maxwell Lewis. The biggest riser of all appears to be Michigan’s Jett Howard, who Wasserman and Givony have going at #10 (Tankathon has at #15). Stay tuned for more mock drafts to be added in the next couple of weeks!

There will be more mock drafts 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 mock drafts that you feel belong alongside the ‘All-NBA level’ draft analysts I currently include, leave a comment or DM me on Twitter.

Potential Movement of Draft Order (via Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express)

  • Charlotte’s first-rounder is owned by Atlanta if Charlotte’s pick falls between No. 17 and 30 in 2023. If Charlotte’s pick finishes between 1-16, Atlanta will instead receive Charlotte’s 2024 first-rounder, lottery-protected.
  • On draft night, Charlotte scored a protected top-14 protected first-rounder from Denver via Oklahoma City and New York in a three-way trade.
  • Houston has first-round swap rights with Brooklyn.
  • Houston owns Milwaukee’s first-rounder, which is unprotected.
  • Brooklyn owns Philadelphia’s first-rounder, which is unprotected.
  • Chicago’s first-rounder is owned by Orlando if Chicago’s pick falls between 5 and 30 in 2023. If Chicago’s pick finishes between 1-4, Orlando will instead receive Chicago’s 2024 first-rounder, protected for picks 1-3.
  • Portland’s first-rounder is owned by Chicago if Portland’s pick falls between 15 and 30 in 2023. If Portland misses the playoffs as expected, Chicago will instead receive Portland’s 2024 first-rounder, again lottery-protected.
  • Cleveland’s first-rounder is owned by Indiana if Cleveland’s pick falls between 15 and 30 in 2023. If Cleveland misses the playoffs, Indiana will instead receive Cleveland’s 2025 second-round pick and the Lakers’ 2026 second-round pick.
  • Dallas’ first-rounder is owned by New York if Dallas’ pick falls between 11 and 30 in 2023. If Dallas’ pick finishes between 1-10, New York will instead receive Dallas’ 2024 first-rounder, protected for picks 1-10.
  • Denver’s first-rounder is owned by Oklahoma City if Denver’s pick falls between 15 and 30 in 2023. If Denver misses the playoffs, Oklahoma City will instead receive Denver’s 2024 first-rounder, again lottery-protected.
  • Detroit’s first-rounder is owned by Oklahoma City if Detroit’s pick falls between 19 and 30 in 2023. If Detroit’s pick falls between 1-18, Oklahoma City will instead receive Detroit’s 2024 first-rounder, again protected for picks 1-18.
  • Oklahoma City has first-round swap rights with the Los Angeles Clippers.
  • New Orleans has first-round swap rights with the Los Angeles Lakers.
  • On draft night, New York gained two protected first-round picks, both via Oklahoma City: a top-14 protected originally from Washington, and a top-18 protected originally from Detroit.
  • Washington’s first-rounder is owned by Oklahoma City if Washington’s pick falls between 15 and 30 in 2023. If Washington’s pick finishes between 1-14, Oklahoma City will instead receive Washington’s 2024 first-rounder, protected for picks 1-12.

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Big Board Comparison, December 2022 (updated 1/8)

We finally have a few 2023 big boards to stack up against each other. So, here’s our first #bigboardcomp of the year featuring boards from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express and Tankathon.

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Mock Draft Comparison, Oct/Nov/Dec 2022

Some fresh picks to compare from Jeremy Woo/SI, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, ESPN-Draft Express/Jonathan Givony, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, and Tankathon. Wemby + Scoot we know, but then what…

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Mock Draft Comparison, Oct/Nov/Dec 2022

Note: If the table is not loading correctly on your mobile device via Twitter, then copy and paste this link in your browser and view the post on my site at https://hoopsdistillery.com/mockdraftcomp-oct22/.

12/9 update: Another updated 2-round mock draft from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report. In this one Orlando has the #1 pick and grabs some guy named ‘Victor Wembanyama‘ as well as Ausar Thompson at #6.

12/2 update: New mock drafts added from Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express and Tankathon. Givony has Ausar Thompson moving up to #5 to OKC after releasing video of his improved shooting stroke, and Dariq Whitehead dropping down to #10 pick from Orlando. Meanwhile, Tankathon has Brandon Miller going #3 to the Pistons. Now that we’ve moved into December, I added an extra table below that shows mock comparisons (Dec/Nov vs Oct) of ESPN vs ESPN, B/R vs B/R and Tankathon vs Tankathon to picks have shifted for that particular draft analyst.

11/25 update: Updated 2-round mock draft from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report who has Anthony Black going #6 to the Spurs and Derek Lively dropping all the way to #23 to the Clippers.

11/18 update: Fresh picks from Jeremy Woo/Sports Illustrated and Tankathon to add to October’s mock draft comparison. Lots of contrast across lottery picks starting at #3–Woo has Nick Smith while everyone else has Amen Thompson. At #5 we see Woo went with Jarace Walker, while Tankathon has Dariq Whitehead–everyone else went with Whitmore.

10/27 update: New mock draft added from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic who has some very interesting picks, including Cam Whitmore going #5 to Houston and also Tyrese Proctor going #13 to the Knicks.


And….we’re back! A new season is upon us, and after an unforgettable Scoot vs. Wemby showcase in Las Vegas, the NBA back in full gear, and college ball about to start up, we have new picks to compare from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express, and Tankathon. Not surprisingly, there’s lots of disagreement on who will go where in the back half of the lottery. The bottom line: this draft is stacked! There’s been so much commentary after the first two weeks of the NBA season about the talent level never being higher in the league, and I don’t think that’s even debatable. But looking at these 2023 picks, I already have a nervous twitch of joy imagining these guys being added to the mix–especially with glut of wings that so many teams are endlessly searching for.

Since Tankathon constantly updates pick order based on current NBA records, I left teams out for his picks, as they will change quite a bit in the coming weeks. That being said, it’s still well worth seeing their player rankings up against ESPN and B/R.
