2023 NBA Mock Draft

player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Bilal Coulibaly . 15. Wing. Metropolitans 92. 125

Coulibaly’s stock has risen after a strong season alongside Victor Wembanyama in France. He is an electric athlete with big-time defensive potential. He’ll run the floor and get hustle buckets right away.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Guard. Nick Smith Jr.. 16. player. Arkansas. 118

The Jazz improve their guard depth with the potential loss of Kris Dunn. Smith Jr. could end up being a very good two-way guard who can give them defense right away and scoring punch down the road.

17. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Forward. Michigan. Jett Howard. 20. player

The Lakers pick up a big shooter to put next to LeBron and AD. This really all depends on what happens with LeBron. If he shocks everyone and retires or ends up on another team, LA would probably go for someone with more upside instead.
