The San Antonio Spurs have the first overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, and there's no surprise brewing with their choice. The Spurs will likely secure Victor Wembanyama from France. In fact, DraftKings Sportsbook has Wembanyama listed at -20000 odds to be picked first overall.

From there, the Charlotte Hornets (No. 2), Portland Trail Blazers (No. 3), Houston Rockets (No. 4), and Detroit Pistons (No. 5) round out the first five selections. Of course, trades can shake up the order at any given time, and we could see a few surprising swaps in the first round.

The first round of the 2023 NBA Draft will be televised on both ESPN and ABC, while the second round will only be available on ESPN.
