This year's NBA and NHL drafts produced some highly sought-after No. 1 picks: Victor Wembanyama and Connor Bedard.
Wembanyama starred for Nanterre 92 and Metropolitans 92 in France's highest tier of professional basketball where he was a three-time LNB Pro A Best Young Player award recipient before his NBA draft selection at 19 years old. The 7-foot-4 center is the San Antonio Spurs' leader in points, rebounds, assists and blocks.
Bedard, called "the Future of Hockey" at 13 years old, was granted exception status from Hockey Canada in order to play junior hockey before turning 16.
