Magdadaigan na muli ang pinakamahuhusay na Filipino high school players, local man at imports sa MOA Arena mula Marso 15 hanggang 19 sa 2023 NBTC National Finals at All-Star Game.
"Finally, after a three-year wait, the stage is set for young Filipino talent to shine again. We're very much excited for our tournament to prove that Philippine grassroots basketball is alive and well," ayon kay NBTC Program Director Eric Altamirano.
Ang national championship na pinagwagian ng Nazareth School of National University ng dalawang beses noong 2018 at 2019 ay paglalabanan ng 24 teams na sasalang sa classification contests kung saan ang panalo ay ikaklasipika sa Division 1 habang ang matatalo ay dadalhin sa Division 2.
Ang dalawang dibisyon ay kukuha ng three-team groups of four na magsasagupa sa round-robin eliminations. Ang top team sa bawat grupo ay aabanse sa knockout semifinals at finals, kung saan ang Div. 1 at Div. 2 champ ang kokoronahan.
Sa nakaraang National Finals kung saan ang Bullpups - sa pangunguna nina Carl Tamayo, Terrence Fortea, at Gerry Abadiano ang bumida sa kompetisyon, bagamat kasagupang mabigat sina Jalen Green ng Fil-Am Sports USA, Kai Sotto ng Ateneo de Manila High School, Justine Sanchez at Yukien Andrada ng San Beda High School.
Sa unang pagkakataon, ang NBTC 13th season ay hindi lang nilahukan ng school-based squads, kundi ang iba pang club teams. Lahat ng players ay dapat isinilang bago ang Enero 1, 2004 at may dugong Pinoy. "We're happy to be continuing on the road we've been on since 2017, when we first launched the NBTC 24 as a ranking system that recognizes the future of collegiate basketball and, ultimately, Philippine basketball," ayon kay NBTC Special Projects Head Anton Altamirano.
