Breaking down NBA Draft prospects & Kings targets

The 2023 NBA Draft is just 48 hours away.

To prepare for Thursday night’s action, Jason Ross and Jay Johnson talked with Hoop Obsession’s NBA Draft analyst Bobby Gerould to discuss this class of prospects, dive into some possibilities for the Sacramento Kings’ 24th selection, and much more.

Plus: Is this draft deep in comparison to previous seasons?

Topics Discussed

• Will Scoot Henderson or Brandon Miller be selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the second pick?
• What is the biggest separation that Bob sees in his mock drafts compared to others (ESPN, CBS, etc.)
• Who are some notable players that have been selected near the 24th pick in previous drafts?
• Should the Kings take a look at Duke guard Dariq Whitehead?
• Will Whitehead’s injury history scare teams away from using their picks on the guard?

• From a talent standpoint, is this the best draft we might see in the coming years?
• Breaking down Trayce Jackson-Davis’ game
