Victor Wembanyama will begin his NBA career with the san antonio spurs. The Texas franchise won the draft lottery and thus the prima pick absolute. The Spurs were one of the three teams with the best odds (14%) to get the first pick, which they will almost certainly use for Wembanyama. The 19-year-old Frenchman is indeed one of the most publicized prospects and should have an immediate impact on the league. It is the third time the Spurs have won the lottery and on both previous occasions they have made picks that have paid off for decades: David Robinson in 1987 and Tim Duncan in 1997.

Wembanyama to revive the Spurs
“Our future was already bright. Now it will be even brighter,” said Spurs managing partner Peter J. Holt. Even general manager Brian Wright extols, who called it “an amazing day” for the franchise and for the fans. Charlotte will pick second followed by Portland and Houston. Speaking of Wembanyama the NBA commissioner, Adam Silverhe defined it “an incredible young man” who “clearly appears to be a generational talent”. Wembanyama will be called upon to revive the Spurs, who ended the last season with a record of 22-60, the second worst in the NBA.
