The 2023 NBA Draft is complete.
Hours before the draft began, fireworks erupted when the Golden State Warriors reportedly traded Jordan Poole for Chris Paul in a stunning blockbuster deal with the Washington Wizards. But that was the only big trade of the day.
The San Antonio Spurs opened Thursday night’s game in extraordinary fashion at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York by securing Victor Wembanyama as the overall winner. The draft really started with the second pick with the Charlotte Hornets surprisingly choosing Brandon Miller over Scoot Henderson.
The Portland Trail Blazers were ultimately unable to secure the number 3 win-now talent around Damian Lillard, but added another exciting young player in Scoot Henderson.
To complete the top five, the Houston Rockets and Detroit Pistons each grabbed a Thompson twin. Houston selected Amen Thompson first, followed by Detroit’s selection of Ausar Thompson. Amen and Ausar were the first brothers ever to be named in the top 10 of the same NBA draft.
Those were just the first five selections made out of a total of 58, with multiple trades being mixed up throughout the night. Here’s a full breakdown of all picks and trades:

The Dallas Mavericks allegedly Davis traded Bertans and the draft rights to Cason Wallace (#10 pick) to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for draft rights to Dereck Lively II (#12 pick).
