Tuesday, the 2023 NBA Draft order will be solidified when the NBA Draft lottery takes place in Chicago. Ahead of the event, CBS Sports’ Gary Parrish released an updated mock draft.

The consensus top pick from the beginning has been French sensation Victor Wembanyama, and whoever winds up winning the lottery will have the first crack at selecting the “unicorn” prospect. The Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurts all have the best odds for the No. 1 pick at 14%.
