Time was passing and it seemed more and more like an inevitability. This morning from Thursday to Friday, it really happened. You san antonio spurs selected the french Victor Wembanyama with the 1st pick of this year’s NBA Draft.
The French pole shone in France at this time, serving the Metropolitans 92 – where he was elected Best Defender, Best Young Man, MVP and part of the Ideal 5 in 2022/23 – and is seen around the world as a generational talent – remember the interview with the Portuguese Filipe da Silva, who coached him, at zero zero – and ended up being selected by the historic San Antonio Spurs, where he will be commanded by also iconic Gregg Popovich.
With his talent compared to names like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan, but with very different characteristics, Victor Wembanyama comes from a season where he averaged 21.6 points per game – shooting 47% from the field , 82.8% free throws and 27.5% triples -, 3 tackles, 0.7 steals, 2.4 assists and 10.4 rebounds.
The second choice, made by the Hornets, was Brandon Miller, from the University of Alabama. After many doubts and possible exchanges, the team still led by Michael Jordan chooses the winger.
The 3rd choice, made by the Portland Trail Blazers, was baseman Scoot Henderson.
