Top 100 NBA Draft prospects in 2023: Tiers, final rankings, analysis and Big Board

Welcome to the 2023 NBA Draft Guide, a deep dive into every player and skill set you need to know heading into this year’s draft.

This is the fourth year for the draft guide, and it gets better every single year because of the terrific team at The Athletic that works to bring you such an awesome product.

The goal is simple every year: Produce the most comprehensive NBA Draft report for basketball fans and those who work within the game. I want it to be basic enough that an NBA fan who has never watched any of these players gets a feel for them but thorough enough that an NBA executive potentially learns something they might not have known.

This project gets a bit harder each year as my time continues to be split in different directions, from NBA and draft coverage to college basketball transfers to the Game Theory Podcast to on-camera responsibilities. Again, we dived deep on 75 players. But this year, the product is the longest it’s ever been at more than 130,000 words. It’s a labor of love and a prospect bible I truly love getting to share.

I’m thrilled about this year’s draft, almost as excited as I am for you to explore this guide. It’s a real team effort that involves copious hours from The Athletic’s editors, design staff, social media team and others. I couldn’t be more appreciative of everyone who makes this happen, and I hope you enjoy. Click the link below to download, using the password: Dr@ft2023
