Victor Wembanyama is as close to a lock for the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NBA draft as a player can be. The 7-foot-4 18-year-old is playing his last season in France before the 2023 NBA draft and is dominating the Betclic Élite league as one of the youngest players on the court.
In his most recent game Tuesday night, Wembanyama had his quietest outing of the season, posting only 15 points, six rebounds and three blocks in 29 minutes in a 102-77 loss on the road to Roanne. He picked up three early fouls in the first half, and Roanne's defense limited his touches, making it difficult for him to get anything in the paint and sometimes triple-teaming him.
