NBA: In the footsteps of Tony Parker, Victor Wembanyama will (probably) join the San Antonio Spurs

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.
