While NBA prospects prepare for the draft, Victor Wembanyama's French season could extend into June

While almost every other prospect in June's NBA Draft is participating in pro days in front of NBA scouts, showcasing the best parts of their game, meeting with NBA teams and flying all across the country for in-person workouts, assumed No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama has entered playoff mode in France. Wembanyama's squad, Boulogne-Levallois Metropolitans 92, is the No. 2 seed in the LNB Pro A playoffs and currently playing in a best-of-three series against No. 7 seed Cholet that is tied 1-1 with the deciding game Thursday.

Wembanyama could've shut everything down in October and spent the past eight months preparing for the NBA behind closed doors.
