From the New Orleans Pelicans (hereinafter referred to as New Orleans) with Zion Williams to the Washington Wizards (hereinafter referred to as Washington) with Bradley Beal, they are moving to increase their 2023 draft rankings.토토사이트
The NBA 2023 draft will be held in Brooklyn on the 23rd.
With about a week left until draft day, New Orleans has indicated that they may dismantle their current core as Zion has been having trouble recently. Therefore, they aim for the second, third and even fourth positions with packages that include Zion Williamson or Brandon Ingram. In addition, Washington, who announced that he could trade Bill, is in a situation where he wants to pick up to the third place.
First of all, the 2023 NBA Draft was full of prospects such as Victor Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson, Brandon Miller, brothers Amen and Osar Thompson, Cam Whitemore, Anthony Black, Jarrus Walker, Taylor Hendricks, and Grady Dick.
Among them, Wembanyama is estimated to be the undisputed No. 1 in the San Antonio Spurs. However, many teams are looking for pickups, from the second pick of the Charlotte Hornets to the third pick of the Portland Trail Blazers, the lottery pick (14 picks), and the back of the first round.
According to NBA scouts, the emergence of a prospect considered a strong first pick in the 2024 and 2025 NBA Draft is being delayed. In addition, there are as many as 152 players who have withdrawn their names from the 2024 NBA Draft, and many leavers are expected to occur in the 2025 NBA Draft.
According to this, it seems that there are few teams trying to rebuild in the 23-24 season. Plus, choosing to rebuild early has resulted in teams with multiple 2023 first-round picks.
Charlotte ranked 2nd and 27th, Portland ranked 3rd and 23rd, Houston ranked 4th and 30th, Orlando ranked 6th and 11th, Utah Jazz ranked 9th, 16th and 28th, Brooklyn Nets ranked 21st and 11th. The 22nd pick, the Indiana Pacers have the 7th, 26th and 29th picks. Among them, the teams that expressed their intention to pick up the draft are Houston, Brooklyn, Indiana and Orlando.
Also, the Memphis Grizzlies, who have problems with Ja Morant and first-round pick rich teams such as the Oklahoma City Thunder, have also made moves to participate in this draft class.
Meanwhile, after Wembanyama received the first overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, it is predicted that several teams will use the draft picks they own to make several trades.
