The fifth pick in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft was James Nnaji.

Quick Scoop

  • He was selected at No. 31 overall , which was the first pick of the second round.
  • The wording “fifth pick in the second round” is a bit off because the second round starts at pick 31, so the fifth pick in that round would be No. 35 , not No. 31.

Note

  • If you meant the fifth pick of the second round specifically, that player was Rayan Rupert at No. 32? Actually, the exact answer depends on the draft order used, so the safest match to your phrasing is James Nnaji for the second round’s first selection.
