2023 NBA Mock Draft: Post-NCAA Tournament Edition

Here is the second version of the 2023 NBA Mock Draft, the first following the NCAA Tournament. It looks a little different from our first edition, posted back on March 29.

Hoops Wire will have several more on the way as more intel is released on prospects leading into the actual draft on June 22 in New York.

Prospects are mostly listed in order of projected impact, as opposed to team needs, with the NBA Draft Lottery still more than a month away (May 16).
