Tall, 2.21 meters, and capable of mixing his physical power as a center with impressive athleticism, three-point shooting and one-on-one ability, Wembanyama has been the number one target of NBA franchises for months.

His tremendous potential made many franchises, seeing themselves without serious postseason goals, bet on falling in the classification precisely to have more options to get the first pick.

Stars like Steph Curry, of the Golden State Warriors, who compared him to a “NBA 2K video game player”, or the Greek Giannis Antetokounmpo, of the Milwaukee Bucks, have surrendered to Wembanyama’s talent in recent months.

“He’s unbelievable. The way he can shoot, the way he can move, he’s extremely fast for his size, he can block shots, he can be a threat on defense… He’s unbelievable. We’ve got to prepare for this kid, right? You know? It’s going to be really good,” said the Greek.
