Winners and losers from 2023 NBA Draft. Starting with the Spurs.

For a night that changed the fortunes of at least one franchise — and, when we look back on this night in a few years, probably a few more — the 2023 NBA Draft was relatively drama free. It followed form.

There were not a lot of surprises and the most eye-popping thing of the night was Gradey Dick’s fashion choice.

Who were the winners and losers of the 2023 NBA Draft? Let’s break it down.

They were winners back in May when the NBA Draft Lottery smiled on them and gifted them the No. 1 pick, but it doesn’t change the fact they are now home to Victor Wembanyama, the most hyped prospect of a generation.

Wembanyama is a generational talent. He’s 7’3 with a nearly 8-foot wingspan, is a defensive force, moves well, has handles and can drain the 3 like a shooting guard. He is the total package, and he is doing things we have never seen before.
