2023 NBA Draft Big Board: Prospects Ranked 1-100

It’s time for the Pre-March Madness draft board preview! In this edition, we have some significant rises and falls as we’ve gotten more data. Many sportsbooks with sign-up bonuses have even begun offering markets for the June Draft, so make sure you lock in on our latest updates before placing your futures bets.

The biggest faller is Yohan Traore dropping entirely off the top 100 (down 112 spots). The biggest faller still staying on the board is Jordan Wash, falling 68 slots into the group that likely will not be staying in the draft. The biggest riser is Keyonte Johnson, with a 162-spot jump. Taylor Hendricks and Noah Clowney are first-rounders who were unranked in big board 2.0.
