The day that no one saw coming in mid-March is here.
Olivier-Maxence Prosper is an NBA Draft pick, and not only that, but a 2023 NBA Draft pick, and not only that, but a 2023 NBA Draft first round pick. On Thursday night, he was officially selected at #24 overall and will begin play in the league this coming fall. We have to phrase it that way because #24 was held by the Sacramento Kings, but shortly before the pick was announced, news broke that the Kings were trading the pick to Dallas and effectively selecting Prosper for the Mavericks.
