a series of annex draws carried out for the 2023 Draft, Wembanyama directly concerned

Victor Wembanyama does not have many more weeks to wait before knowing where he will play next season in the NBA. While the Boulogne-Levallois player saw his last matches with the Mets 92, he then left France to settle in the United States and play in the NBA. And he is expected as the number 1 choice of the 2023 Draft, which will take place on June 22. That evening, Victor Wembanyama will be sent to one of the NBA’s resident franchises and he will finally be able to begin his adventure across the Atlantic. Except that on May 16, the League will carry out the famous lottery, the one which allows to know which franchise will benefit from the number 1 choice during this Draft 2023. And “Wemby” will therefore already know his future destination, while there no longer has much doubt about his status as number 1 for this Draft.

Additional draws carried out

On May 16, therefore, the League will conduct its famous lottery which determines the order of choice among the worst ranked teams of the season. But as relayed by L’Equipe, additional draws were made on Monday evening in order to refine the details of this May 16 lottery. The purpose of these draws last night was to decide between teams that were tied in the regular season standings. And following these draws, the Houston Rockets are now officially ranked second to last in the League. The San Antonio Spurs, who had the same record, are antepenultimate. The two teams maintain a 14% probability of obtaining the first choice but it is Detroit who therefore arrives last in the regular season, all Conferences combined. Houston will choose at least in 6th position and San Antonio in 7th.

For the rest of this draw, the Indiana Pacers came in behind the Washington Wizards and inherited a 6.8% chance of getting the first pick while the Wizards will have 6.7%. The Chicago Bulls find themselves at 1.8% probability, and the Oklahoma City Thunder at 1.7%, while the two teams narrowly missed qualifying for the NBA playoffs last week. The future of Wembanyama begins, little by little, to clear up but nothing is done!
