The 2023 NBA Draft presented a highly anticipated class, featuring generational talent Victor Wembanyama, who has lived up to the hype with remarkable performances, despite recent concerns regarding his durability due to a season-ending blood clot issue. Meanwhile, Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller, both top-five selections, have seen varying success in their rookie seasons. Henderson has shown improvement in his second year, while Miller struggles with injury impacts his progress.

Amen Thompson, once seen as a tier below, has outperformed expectations, standing out as an elite athlete and defender. The redraft of this year highlights how teams might have prioritized Thompson over others, particularly in the case of the Portland Trail Blazers, who initially selected Henderson. As the draft class continues to evolve, it’s clear that the long-term potential of these players remains a hot topic.
