"2023 NBA Draft: Top Prospects, Key Dates, and Green Room Invitees"

Nineteen top prospects, including Victor Wembanyama, have received invitations to attend the 2023 NBA draft and sit in the green room, a staging area in front of the NBA draft podium where players, families, and agents await commissioner Adam Silver to call a player's name upon selection. All 19 players invited are projected among the top 19 prospects in the ESPN Top 100 ranking. Receiving an invitation is considered a positive sign for a player's draft stock, although there have been instances in the past of prospects falling to the second round while sitting in the green room.
