Victor Wembanyama is now set to begin his NBA career with the San Antonio Spurs, after they won the NBA draft lottery and the No.
1 overall pick on Tuesday night. The Spurs were one of three teams with the best odds — 14% — to land the No. 1 pick, which they'll almost certainly use on Wembanyama.
The 7-foot-3 French 19-year-old is one of the most highly touted prospects in NBA history and will be expected to make an immediate impact on the league.
And he had a message for San Antonio. "I'm trying to win a ring ASAP," Wembanyama told ESPN after the lottery results. "So be ready." "The number one pick in the 2023 NBA Draft goes to...the San Antonio Spurs."
