On the wall of a restaurant in the south of the city, on candles and t-shirts, or on a billboard financed by… A local rapper. The young French Victor Wembanyama, 19, is already everywhere in San Antonio! While the draft, scheduled for the night of Thursday to Friday (night of June 22 to 23), has not yet definitively ratified his arrival, the Frenchman is expected as the savior of a franchise at half mast since the departure of his star trio Duncan-Parker-Ginobili. “Wembanyama is young, brilliant: we are all very excited about its future here”, summarizes Marc Anderson, CEO of “Visit San Antonio”, the organization that promotes the city internationally.
