CBS Sports updates mock draft following 2023 NBA Draft Lottery

The NBA Draft Lottery was kind to the San Antonio Spurs, giving the Texas franchise the No. 1 overall pick and the rights to draft Victor Wembanyama, a generational prospect from France. But beyond Wembanyama, the 2023 NBA Draft is a bit murky — and CBS Sports took a crack at a first round mock draft following the lottery earlier this week.

CBS didn’t specify what set the order for the back half of the draft, where picks are still fluid as the conference finals — and finals — shake out. As such, the last handful of picks are likely subject to change between now and the draft.

Check out the full CBS Sports mock 2023 NBA Draft below:

1. San Antonio Spurs: Victor Wembanyama, Metropolitans 92
2. Charlotte Hornets: Brandon Miller, Alabama
3. Portland Trailblazers: Scoot Henderson, G League Ignite
4. Houston Rockets: Amen Thompson, Overtime Elite
5. Detroit Pistons: Jarace Walker, Houston
6. Orlando Magic: Anthony Black, Arkansas
7. Indiana Pacers: Gradey Dick, Kansas
8. Washington Wizards: Ausar Thompson, Overtime Elite
9. Utah Jazz: Cam Whitmore, Villanova
10. Dallas Mavericks: Jalen Hood-Schifino, Indiana
11. Orlando Magic (via Chicago): Keyonte George, Baylor
12. Oklahoma City Thunder: Taylor Hendricks, UCF
13. Toronto Raptors: Jordan Hawkins, UConn
14. New Orleans Pelicans: Cason Wallace, Kentucky
15. Atlanta Hawks: Brice Sensabaugh, Ohio State
16. Utah Jazz (via Minnesota): Jett Howard, Michigan
17. Los Angeles Lakers: Nick Smith Jr., Arkansas
18. Miami Heat: Kris Murray, Iowa
19. Golden State Warriors: Dereck Lively II, Duke
20. Houston Rockets (via LAC): Kobe Bufkin, Michigan
21. Brooklyn Nets (via Phoenix): GG Jackson, South Carolina
22. Brooklyn Nets: Leonard Miller, G League Ignite
23. Portland Trailblazers: Dariq Whitehead, Duke
24. Sacramento Kings: Jaime Jaquez, UCLA
25. Memphis Grizzlies: Rayan Rupert, New Zealand Breakers
26. Indiana Pacers: Marcus Sasser, Houston
27. Charlotte Hornets (via Denver): Noah Clowney, Alabama
28. Utah Jazz (via Philadelphia): Jalen Wilson, Kansas
29. Indiana Pacers (via Boston): Terquavion Smith, NC State
30. Los Angeles Clippers (via Milwaukee): Maxwell Lewis, Pepperdine

While Wembanyama is a virtual lock for the No. 1 pick, the Hornets could go with Henderson or Miller at No. 2, as it mostly depends on what they want. CBS has Charlotte going with Miller, one of the best players in college basketball in 2022-23, to come in and provide wing scoring and creation to play along with LaMelo Ball and Co. That leaves Henderson to the Trailblazers at No. 3 — and subsequently shapes how the rest of the draft will shake out.

And with a little more than a month to go until the 2023 NBA Draft in late June, there will be plenty of time to cook up plenty more mock drafts.
