Barring any unforeseen setbacks, the highly touted Victor Wembanyama will be playing NBA basketball next season. And it will likely be for the San Antonio Spurs, as the franchise recently found out they would be selecting first in this year’s NBA Draft.
As we alluded to, an ungodly amount of hype has been bestowed on this young man. Some claim that if he’s only as good as all-time greats like Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, and Hakeem Olajuwon, that would be a disappointment.
All this chatter about this prospect’s upside sounds eerily familiar to what was experienced in 2019 when the New Orleans Pelicans used their first overall pick to select college phenom, Zion Williamson.
