It was the most anticipated lottery in years. And it is the San Antonio Spurs who leave with a big smile on their face. During the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, the NBA draft lottery took place in the United States: a draw to determine the teams that will have the first choice of players next June, among 60 basketball players ready to challenge the American prosecutors.
The stakes were high: the franchise that inherits the first choice will have the opportunity to reach out to the giant Victor Wembanyama (2.21 m), 19-year-old French prodigy, described by LeBron James as a “alien”. Around 2:30 a.m. French time, Mark Tatum, vice-president of the NBA, put an end to the suspense: the San Antonio Spurs get the jackpot. In five weeks, the historic franchise of Tony Parker will reveal its choice among the 60 “prospects” (hopes) from American universities, the G-League (minor league, antechamber of the NBA) and foreign championships.
