2023 NBA $DRFT Stock Initial Player Offerings
Corey Tulaba looks upon mainstream big boards to set opening stock prices for the Top 40 prospects in the 2023 NBA Draft Class.
Welcome to the 2023 NBA $DRFT Stock Initial Player Offerings on the NBA Draftdaq.
The Draftdaq at No Ceilings is your online marketplace to (theoretically) buy and trade NBA Draft Prospect Stock. How this thing works is that I go through the most up-to-date rankings that I can find from a variety of mainstream draft sites that include ESPN, SB Nation, Basketball News, Tankathon, the Athletic, Sports Illustrated, and No Ceilings to average out the draft stock for the Top 40 prospects in the 2023 NBA Draft Class. A prospect’s draft stock is always evolving, so as the year goes on prospects will move up, down, or out of the $DRFT rankings, in order to make way for any new prospects that burst onto the scene.
These rankings don’t necessarily reflect how I or the gang at No Ceilings personally feel about some of the 2023 prospects. However, they do give us an accurate reflection of how the mainstream draft community is collectively viewing prospects very early on in the 2023 NBA Draft cycle. Now is your chance to get in on the ground floor, find value, and purchase the $DRFT stock of your favorite prospects before they blow.
As always, remember the number one rule of Ball Street…
“Nobody - and I don't care if you're Jonathan Givony or if you're Jimmy Buffet - nobody knows if a stock is going to go up, down, sideways, or in circles!”
