In the NBA draft, the weakest team from the previous season gets to pick a player first. Unsurprisingly, the San Antonio Spurs are backing Frenchman Victor Wembanyama. He is considered a super talent – and wants to become a master as soon as possible.
As expected, exceptional talent Victor Wembanyama will play for the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA. The Texas basketball team picked the 19-year-old Frenchman first in the draft on Thursday evening (local time). “I’ve achieved something I’ve dreamed of all my life,” said an emotional Wembanyama in a TV interview afterwards.
“My goal is to learn as much and as quickly as possible because I want to win this ring,” Wembanyama continued. He was referring to the fact that players who win a championship in the NBA usually get rings as gifts from their teams.
In the talent drawing in the best basketball league in the world, the worst teams get to pick first. The NBA wants to ensure more equal opportunities. Wembanyama, short for Wemby, is considered the biggest talent since LeBron James was picked first by the Cleveland Cavaliers 20 years ago. He is 2.18 meters tall and, in addition to the range advantages, also has an excellent feel for the ball.
