Description

2023 Prospect Comparisons per The Athletic

"""
Player comparables are introduced for the first time to this year’s crop. This is my best guess at a realistic outcome for players in this draft class. Note that at the very top of the draft, it is often more difficult to find direct comparables than it is for the mid- to late-first-round types where there are more players to pick from.
