Family Seminar
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 3–5 P.M.
4TH FLOOR OF THE WESTIN GERSHWIN I AND II ROOMS
The 2023 NBA Draft Family Seminar is a forum for parents and family members of draft prospects to learn about what to expect on draft night, learn about the resources that the league makes available to every player, and prepare for life as a family member of a professional athlete.
We realize that the transition into the league is a major adjustment for the family of the drafted player, just as it is for the players themselves.
The seminar will include a panel with family members of NBA players and a current player.

Player Development
NBA Player Development represents the league’s core investment in ensuring that players have access to critical educational resources, support, and opportunities as they navigate their lives as people and professionals on and off the court. Our mission is to create space for players’ aspirations to thrive with an understanding that basketball is what they do, not who they are.
We believe that players are lifelong learners and that they have the capacity to be leaders in their own lives and in their communities. Our engagement, programs, and initiatives span the arc of players’ careers and are intended to help players maximize their performance on the court, realize their myriad passions and talents off the court, and build a secure future for themselves and their families.
We have put together this guide to assist you during your draft experience and as you celebrate this moment. The Player Development team is hereto answer your questions and offer any support you may need throughout the draft and beyond.
