A way too early look at the 2023 NBA Draft

The Washington Wizards owe their first-round pick to the New York Knicks in 2023 unless they are a lottery team again. The pick is top 14 protected in 2023, top 12 in 2024, top 10 in 2025, and top 8 in 2026. Beyond that, it conveys as second-round picks.

ESPN is predicting the Wizards will only win 34 games in 2023 which would likely make them a lottery team again. Several betting sites have set their early over/under on their wins at 34.5. Personally, I think they will be better than that, assuming they stay healthy.
