NEW YORK — It's a full year until the 2023 NBA draft, but the players projected at the top five are like no other draft class in the past. Usually NBA fans tune into the NCAA men's tournament to get a first glimpse of the future NBA stars set to hit the draft stage three months later, but next year will be different.
Projected atop the draft is a player from France playing in the EuroLeague (Victor Wembanyama), a teenager dominating the G League for the G League Ignite (Scoot Henderson) and a set of twins playing in Overtime's OTE league (Amen and Ausar Thompson).
