NBA Draft 2023 Betting Odds: Who Will Come Off The Board After Victor Wembanyama?

The NBA Draft will be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on June 22, 2023. The NBA Draft Lottery helped set the order of picks last month. The San Antonio Spurs won the lottery and own the first overall pick. One of the worst-kept secrets in sports is that the Spurs will be taking Victor Wembanyama first overall. He is currently priced at -20000 to be the first overall pick. This equates to a 99.5% likelihood that he hears his name first from Commissioner Adam Silver. As for the second overall pick, there is no consensus among NBA journalists or sportsbooks as to who will be drafted after Wembanyama. The odds list Scoot Henderson as a slight favorite, but there are plenty of conceivable options on the futures board.

Second Overall Pick In The 2023 NBA Draft

The Hornets are certainly interested in adding a wing or point guard to their starting lineup, which explains why Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller are the top two options on the board. Scoot Henderson is an explosive 6-foot-2 point guard who turned heads in the G-League last year. Miller opted to go the college route and played at a National Player of the Year level for the majority of the season in Tuscaloosa. Miller finished his true freshman season embroiled in legal drama, but he was still able to average 18.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game while carrying the Crimson Tide to regular season and conference tournament titles. The rest of the board is filled with long shots, ranging from the Thompson brothers to Anthony Black out of Arkansas. Odds will update in real-time on draft night, so it's a good practice to have multiple sportsbook apps open at the same time to grab the best odds available.
