The 2023 NBA Draft is upon us as the Association looks to add what could be a generational talent in Victor Wembanyama.
We know the 7-foot-5 Wembanyama is headed to the San Antonio Spurs with the No. 1 overall pick, but who gets selected after him and which teams will do the selecting are still very much up in the air. Will the New Orleans Pelicans trade Zion Williamson or Brandon Ingram to move up to No. 2 so they can draft Scoot Henderson? Are the Portland Trail Blazers ready to move on from the Damian Lillard era, or will they move the No. 3 pick to get Lillard help? Are the Clippers ready to cut bait on Paul George? Could we see players like Zach LaVine, Bam Adebayo or OG Anunoby rocking new uniforms by the end of Thursday night? No league does roster turnover quite like the NBA, and we could see some deals that cause seismic shifts for the 2023-24 season and beyond go down on what should be a historic evening for the NBA. The festivities tip off at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Which brings us to today's quiz of the day. The NBA implemented a lottery system beginning with the 1985 draft. Since then, 38 players have gone No. 1 overall, with Wembanyama poised to become No. 39. So with that in mind, how many of the top overall picks from the NBA's lottery era can you name in five minutes?
Good luck!
