French forward/center Victor Wembanyama is the overwhelming favorite to go No. 1 overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, with FanDuel having him at -50000 odds to be the No. 1 pick. With his size and skill set, Wembanyama is one of the most lauded prospects of the past three decades.
What are the odds on the other prospects at the 2023 NBA Draft?
Guard Scoot Henderson from G League Ignite and forward Brandon Miller from Alabama are expected to be top picks.
Henderson, who at 17 became the youngest player in G League history in 2021, is the total package. He is a master at midrange, can knock down a shot from behind the arc and finish at the rim, while getting it done on the defensive end. As for Miller, his long, lanky frame and athleticism will translate quickly at the next level, though he needs to become a more efficient shooter in the pros.
FanDuel has Henderson the favorite to go No. 2 overall at -195. It has Miller favored to go No. 3 overall at -200.
