2023 NBA Mock Draft

Alabama. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Forward. Brandon Miller. 3. 34

It’s always interesting to see which players’ hype cools off in the days leading up to the draft, and that guy is probably Miller this year. This is a spot I still expect the Trail Blazers to trade out of, but if Miller falls here instead of Scoot, it could make that decision a little tougher, as he is a good fit with Damian Lillard and probably ready to contribute fairly soon.

This is really where the draft starts, as there is a good chance that Miller falls from this spot or that someone wants to trade up to 3rd to get one of the Thompsons.

Portland is in a tough spot and should probably start to rebuild, but if they are going to run it back with Dame, this pick will be on the trade block.
